Aerial View of Dispersed Storage Bunkers or Dugouts Across an Open Valley
This aerial photograph shows a field of small, individually dispersed storage bunkers or dugouts, likely used for ammunition, fuel, or supplies at a Japanese-held airfield in the Pacific theater. Such dispersal was a deliberate defensive tactic intended to limit the damage inflicted by Allied air attacks like those carried out by the 312th Bombardment Group. Project: 218562
