B-25 over Japanese-occupied Blair Field
1943-10-28
The 14th Air Force also takes low level pictures. A North American B-25 took this photo of a light reconnaissance bomber on Jap-occupied Blair Field at Fort Bayard on Liuchow Peninsula of South China. This plane is probably an Ida (T.98), as is suggested by the tail assembly. Note slit trench and tripod tower set in circle. Shortly afterward, a strafing Lockheed P-38 left the plane in flames. The date was 28 October 1943. Japanese Airplane - Ida T.98 (Japanese) Radio Tower 26565 A1
