Aerial View of Defoliated Shoreline and Small Craft, Hansa Bay Area, New Guinea
This aerial photograph shows a defoliated stretch of shoreline near Hansa Bay, New Guinea, where dead trees and scattered debris mark the effects of aerial attack. Small boats moored near a makeshift jetty illustrate the modest coastal infrastructure Japanese forces relied upon, and which Allied air units like the 312th Bombardment Group worked to destroy.
