Anti-aircraft positions in Buna

Most of the anti-aircraft positions in Buna, Papua, New Guinea, have been in exposed, cleared areas, with little attempt to camouflage the gun position itself. Netting, post and foliage combinations, as shown here, have been used with effect, but not extensively. As in most instances the best of Japanese camouflage schemes have been reduced in effectiveness by the lack of enforced camouflage discipline.
