Description

Considered one the great feats of military engineering, the Pipeline Under the Ocean (PLUTO) Operation was a World War II project that transported fuel under the English Channel to France. It was a vital component in the post D-day campaign, supplying up to 4000 tonnes of fuel a day to fuel the Allied advance. Adrian Searle tells the definitive story of this little-know but crucial feat of military engineering.
