This scrapbook page from a 312th Bomb Group veteran documents Allied air attacks on the Japanese airfield complex at Wewak, New Guinea. The aerial photograph shows a captured Japanese airstrip cratered by 1,000-pound bombs, with a derelict Mitsubishi G4M 'Betty' medium bomber left abandoned on the field. Wewak served as a key Japanese air base in New Guinea and was a primary target of Fifth Air Force bombing campaigns in 1943-1944. The accompanying handwritten notes reflect the personal observations of an airman who served in the theater, including an account of local villagers aiding Allied fliers forced down nearby.
