Description
Hansa Bay, New Guinea. 1943-08-28. The dangers of low level bombing attacks when the attacking aircraft follow each other too closely are illustrated in this photograph taken from a RAAF aircraft of a low level attack by B25 bombers on camouflaged Japanese ships. This picture shows a bomb dropped from the first aircraft amidships of one of the targets exploding under the second. Also refer to P02018.213; P02018.215, and P02018.216.
