Japanese Betty Bombers Aproach Port Moresby
This is an enlargement of G4M1 Betty bombers taken April 12, 1943 from a trench at 14-Mile Aerodrome as the main Japanese formation
flew overhead at 25,000 feet. The top right-hand arrow shows the direction
of flight, whilst the lower left indicates the lead G4M1 flown by
Commander of the 751st Kokutai, Masaichi Suzuki. Only thirty-six bombers
can be counted in this photo, the reason being that one chutai of
the 705th Kokutai was assigned to bomb Kila Drome and split
up prior to the bomb run.
