B-24
Liberator Wreckage
Dubodura was primarily a heavy bomber base
for B-24 Liberators. Aside from basing many aircraft, repair and
overhaul facilities, bomb dumps and revetment covered the area.
Most of the bomber wrecks were scrapped after
the war. Despite this, I saw the remains of various B-24 hulks
in and around the airfield.
Above is the fuselage section of a one of the
liberator wrecks. The nose turret is missing, as are the wings
and twin tail.
Below is a B-24 wing and engines. This wing gave
the impression of the massive size of this bomber.
