Wonsan refinery after B-29 strikes, August 1950

Summary

[edit]
Description
English: The reduction of the 18 strategic targets listed by the Joint Chiefs of Staff was quickly accomplished by FEAF Bomber Command. In spite of periodic diversion of the B-29's to close support of the hard-pressed U.N. ground forces, the medium bomber had largely eliminated thse strategic targets by the end of summer 1950. One of them was the Wonsan Petroleum Refinery, the only important POL refinery in Korea. Its annual capacity in 1945 was known to have been 1,650,000 barrels of crude oil, 4300 barrels of iso-octane, and 412,500 barrels from its cracking units. This oblique dicing shot shows the refinery 95% destroyed or severely damaged, following three attacks in August by 39 Superforts armed with 500 and 1000-lb bombs.
