Originally captioned '345th Bomb Group Strikes Dagua,' this photograph and its handwritten commentary describe the Dagua airfield near Wewak, New Guinea, as a persistently 'hot' target, noting that initial strikes caught Japanese aircraft grounded and unable to contest the raid effectively. Though preserved in a 312th Bomb Group veteran's personal album, the image credits a sister Fifth Air Force B-25 unit, the 345th Bomb Group, reflecting how combat photographs were often shared and collected among airmen serving in the same New Guinea campaign.
