Scope and Content Aerial view of heavy anti-aircraft battery at Drumcross, Glasgow This oblique aerial photograph of the heavy anti-aircraft battery at Drumcross, Glasgow, was taken during World War II by the Royal Air Force. This heavy anti-aircraft battery was one of a series built following the heavy bombing raids on Glasgow in 1941. Built to provide protection against bombers, it would have been armed with 3.7-inch or 4.5-inch guns. Oblique air photographs were taken by the RAF during photographic-reconnaissance training. These photographs were used to ascertain the accuracy of the pilot in photographing the target and to aid the skills of photographic interpretation. Source: RCAHMS contribution to SCRAN.
