Description
Balikpapan, Borneo. 26 July 1945. Realising that the Japanese might use burning oil as part of their defence, our aircraft shattered, in many places the oil line leading from the field to the refinery. Oil from the pipe line is shown lying in the gutters. A soldier inspects the gutter, a motorbike is to the right.
