Summary

[edit]
Description

A USAF Douglas B-26B Invader of the 452nd Bombardment Wing bombing a target with napalm in North Korea, May 1951.

Original caption: "Flames of destruction eat through a concentration of enemy troops on this ridge as the Fifth Air Force B-26 Invader bomber of the 452nd Bombardment Wing pulls away, bomb-bay doors still open, after loosing napalm (jellied gasoline) bombs on the area. Continued bombing of tactical targets such as these in support of United Nations forces is depriving the Communists of sorely needed war equipment in their spring offensive., ca. 05/1951"
