This aerial photograph captures the aftermath of a low-level strike against a Japanese-held airstrip in the Southwest Pacific, likely by aircraft of the 312th Bombardment Group flying A-20 Havoc light bombers. A destroyed Japanese aircraft, its red Hinomaru insignia still visible, lies abandoned amid bomb craters and scorched ground, a stark record of the Fifth Air Force's campaign to neutralize enemy airpower on the ground before it could take to the skies.
