Low-altitude combat photographs and annotated scrapbook pages follow B-25 Mitchells through the Fifth Air Force strikes on Dagua and the airfields around Wewak, New Guinea, with parafrag bombs falling among dispersed Japanese aircraft. Handwritten captions by the airmen who flew the missions accompany views of smoke columns, revetments in coconut plantations, and fields of wrecked enemy fighters.
