This precisely captioned strike photograph identifies itself as the work of the 386th Bombardment Squadron, 312th Bombardment Group, taken at 0935 hours on 7 October from 9,000 feet over the target 'BABO' — Babo airfield on New Guinea's Vogelkop Peninsula. Smoke from fresh detonations still rises across the frame, capturing the squadron's raid on this key Japanese airbase in real time. Project: 218557
