Aeroplane graveyard, Nadzab
Description
The Nadzab area - scene of great air activity during the Ramu and Finisterres campaign, now presents a desolate sight. A large aeroplane dump stands as mute testimony to the wastage of war, while odd visitors derive amusement from the many odd decorations that adorn the sides and tails of wrecked planes, Nadzab, New Guinea.
