312th Bomb Group Jungle Camp Clearing, New Guinea to Philippines Move, November 1944

A 312th Bomb Group camp takes shape in a cleared patch of rainforest, November 1944, as the unit transitioned from New Guinea to the Philippine Islands. Wall tents, salvaged lumber, and hand-built frame structures such as these formed the backbone of forward air bases throughout the Southwest Pacific campaign. Project: 218269
