Description
Yenangjuang, Burma. c. 16 March 1945. The target area was already covered by smoke from bursting bombs dropped by RAF Liberator aircraft, as yet another aircraft was about to bomb Yenangjuang on the east bank of the Irrawaddy River. More than 300 tons of bombs were dropped during a highly concentrated raid by RAF Liberator bomber aircraft, many of them flown by RAAF aircrew, and US Army Air Force (USAAF) B-24 Liberator bombers of Strategic Air Force, Eastern Air Command on Japanese supply bases and defence positions along the east bank of the Irrawaddy River. These vital enemy bases are supplying enemy forward troops against the British 14th Army.
