This aerial photograph, labeled 'Wom Pt. Boiken,' captures the aftermath of an air strike on a Japanese-held airstrip in the New Guinea region, likely photographed during 1943-1944 operations by Fifth Air Force units such as the 312th Bombardment Group. Wrecked aircraft lie scattered in the grass near a dirt airstrip, while a bomb crater marks the ground below -- visual evidence of the sustained Allied campaign to neutralize Japanese air power at forward bases like Wewak and its satellite fields. Reconnaissance photographs like this one were used by Allied intelligence to assess strike damage and plan follow-up missions. Project: 218561
