This officially captioned strike photograph, marked RESTRICTED, documents a parafrag bomb strike by the 388th Bombardment Squadron, 312th Bombardment Group, over the Bayombong area of Luzon, Philippines, on 4 May 1945 at 1030 hours. A parachute-retarded fragmentation bomb is seen descending toward a thatched-roof hut already engulfed in flame from an earlier hit in the same run. The surviving caption data, rare among personal photo collections, allows this image to be precisely tied to a specific squadron, date, time, and location in the Luzon campaign. Project: 218541
