Col. Strauss Conducts Mission Briefing, 312th Bomb Group Headquarters
Colonel Strauss briefs 312th Bomb Group airmen on an upcoming mission, pointing to target areas on a detailed coastal map of New Guinea marked with restricted 'No Bombing No Strafing' zones and 'Attack at Will' designations. Careful mission planning like this guided the Group's medium bomber strikes against Japanese positions along the northern New Guinea coast, including the Wewak area, during 1943-1944. Project: 218275
