A low-level strike photograph taken during a Fifth Air Force raid on the Japanese airfield at Boram, near Wewak, New Guinea, 16 October 1943. Wrecked enemy aircraft lie amid bomb craters and shattered palm trees, evidence of the relentless Allied campaign to neutralize Japanese air power in the New Guinea theater. The photograph was likely taken from the attacking bomber itself, capturing the target and the raiding aircraft's own wing edge in the same frame. Project: 218236
