ORIGINAL: LargeSlowTarget Well, it is on the left side of the shot, but 'hidden' under the main road running roughly East-West - the road was built on top of the runway. It was the original airstrip built in 1937. Here is a more detailed shot of what is called Boram Airfield, the right-hand airstrip built by the Japanese. Watch those bomb craters after all those years... See the big crater in the upper left corner of the area between the taxiways? Now, I want to know what kind of bomb made it, what fuse settings, what 'message' had been scribbled on the bomb by the ground crew, date and time of the mission, the plane's type, tail number, nickname and nose art scheme, the pilot's name, nickname, birthdate, shoe size and what he had for breakfast the day of the mission, his girlfriend's name, the name of his girlfriend's girlfriend, and the name of the guy she was screwing around with while her boyfriend was risking his life bombing Wewak. THAT should be a bit more difficult, no? 1. 1000 lb. GP 2. Contact 3. Tojo Sucks!! 4. 3/8/44 5. 0505 Local 6. B-24J-15-CO 7. 42-73121 8. Royal Flush II 9. Cards showing Royal Flush 10. Willam Zagrobski 11. Bill 12. 18 September 1919 13. 9 1/2 14. Spam and reconstituted powdered eggs, coffee 15. Sue 16. Betsy 17. Trick question - it wasn't a guy - it was Betsy!! EDIT - BTW - you forgot to ask the organization: 531st (Bomber) Squadron 380th Bomb Group 5th Air Force Here is the squadron symbol:
