B-25 over Sandakan

A North American B-25 Billy Mitchell (lower right) of the 13th AAF, "the jungle air force," banks sharply to the left after dropping a bomb accurately on dock housing at Sandakan, Japanese supply and ship-building center of Northern Borneo. This type of minimum-altitude work by the "Fightin' 13th's" planes has cost the Japs throughout Borneo, the Celebes and the Molucca Islands.
