Handwritten by a veteran of the 312th Bombardment Group, this album page explicitly identifies the unit's wartime base at Gusap airfield, 150 miles west of Lae in New Guinea's Ramu Valley, and captions the accompanying photograph as a native village being strafed along the Lower Sepik River. This rare first-hand annotation firmly anchors the surrounding photographs to a specific unit, location, and moment in the New Guinea air campaign. Project: 218561
