B-25s drop parafrag bombs over Dagua Airfield
Wartime caption: "Dagua Airdrome, New Guinea - Recent Raid on the Dagua Airdrome in New Guinea by the Bomber commande of Gen. Kenney's Fifth Air Force. The formation of North American B-25 "Billy Mitchel" bombers caught the Japanese stationed here unaware and took a tremendous toll of Japanese aircraft and other equipment. As the planes start over the airstrip, Japanese ground personnel lose no time in seeking cover. Most of the planes were standing on the airstrip in the process of being serviced." Print received April 20, 1944"
