Tuning Up for the Raid on Japan
Somewhere-In-India – B-29 bombers, America’s newest air armada were tuned up at a base somewhere in India ad from there started on their mission to bomb the steel center of Japan on June 15th. The photos were shipped from India on June 12th and were received in Washington, June 17th due to the expediting of the air transport command. This photo shows a B-29 receiving an engine exchange.

“O-Reilly’s Daughter: Raring to Go
China – The crew of “O’Reilly’s Daughter”, named after the song so popular with Air Corpsmen, is mighty proud of the success of the raid staged on Japan by B-29 superfortresses in their maiden operational flight. Winging over the Japanese mainland on June 15, these gigantic planes of the 20th bomber command had as their main target Yawata, important steel center. They also attacked Kokura and Moji.

Downed Liberator
France – Smoke billows skyward from the wreckage of this Liberator which crashed in a field in France after being disabled while on a bombing mission. Thousands of planes have been forming an aerial umbrella for the Allied soldiers bitterly engaged in battle with the Nazis in France.
