Summary
[edit]DescriptionAerial supply drop at Myola in 1942 (AWM image P02424.071).jpg |
English: Myola, Papua, 1942-10. A United States Army Air Force (USAAF) aircraft carries out a supply dropping mission to the 2/4th and 2/6th Field Ambulances (not in view) which are camped on the plain below. Myola is an area of dry lakes located on a wide plateau at an altitude of 5,000 feet above sea level. Although clouds often close in around midday, the area provides an ideal site for the re-supply by air of Australian forces advancing along the Kokoda Trail. In carrying out their missions, many USAAF airmen tended to drop the supplies from too great a height, causing them to drift off into the surrounding jungle-covered hills from where they were never recovered. By contrast, RAAF airmen always carried out their drops at low level, leading to full recovery of the supplies. |
