circa 1942: Parachute bombs about to land and explode on a Japanese plane, camouflaged with branches and covered in graffiti, on the ground during a low-level bombing and strafing attack by the U.S. Army 5th Air Force on Old Namlea Airdrome, Boeroe Island, World War II. In the distance bombs explode in a cloud of smoke.
