This official strike-camera photograph, captured by the 387th Bombardment Squadron of the 312th Bomb Group, documents a low-level attack on a village target codenamed 'PATTAO' during World War II's Southwest Pacific campaign. Flying rugged A-20 Havoc and A-26 Invader attack bombers, the 312th Bomb Group conducted intensive strafing and bombing missions against Japanese positions in New Guinea and the Philippines, and images like this, originally marked Restricted, were preserved in squadron scrapbooks as a record of combat operations.
