A-20 Havoc Low-Level Strike on Enemy Airfield with Parafrag Bombs, 312th Bomb Group, WWII Pacific Theater
A-20 Havoc attack bombers strike a Japanese-held airfield during a low-level mission in the Pacific Theater of World War II. Parachute-retarded fragmentation bombs blossom across the runway as smoke rises from a fire ignited earlier in the attack, a tactic that became a signature of 5th Air Force airfield-suppression raids, circa 1943-1944.
