This annotated scrapbook page from a 312th Bomb Group veteran documents the aftermath of Allied air raids on the Wewak airstrip in New Guinea. The handwritten caption notes that many Japanese fighter aircraft were built as a single structural unit without detachable wings or tail surfaces, meaning even partial damage rendered the entire aircraft unserviceable - explaining the vast field of wrecked planes visible in the photograph following the August 1943 raids.
