Handwritten notes on this photograph explain the ordnance responsible for the destruction shown: 'Small 25 lb. parafragmentation bombs set the planes afire. Each B-25 carries eighty such bombs. Released in succession they string out for a mile.' This technical detail, recorded by a veteran of the New Guinea campaign, documents the devastating low-level tactic used by Fifth Air Force B-25 Mitchell units, including the 312th Bomb Group, to destroy Japanese aircraft on airfields near Wewak.
