Handwritten captions on this photograph identify it as documenting the 'Raid of April 26, 1944, Dagua' -- an Allied air strike on the Japanese airfield at Dagua, near Wewak, New Guinea. Wrecked enemy aircraft and fresh bomb craters cover the airstrip, a testament to the sustained campaign by Fifth Air Force units, including the 312th Bomb Group's B-25 Mitchells, to destroy Japanese air power on the ground throughout the New Guinea theater.
