Part of a sequence of strike photographs documenting a Fifth Air Force raid on a Japanese airfield near Wewak, New Guinea, this image shows B-25 Mitchells pressing through smoke as parafrag bombs descend on parked enemy aircraft below. Photographs like this one, taken by the 312th Bomb Group and allied units during the New Guinea campaign, captured the intensity of the low-level strikes that devastated Japanese air power in the region.
