Japanese oil installations at Boela, Ceram Island in the Dutch East

Japanese oil installations at Boela, Ceram Island in the Dutch East Indies, are the target for this attack by U. S. Army 5th Air Force bombers. Smoke rises from hits on installations in the background. This photo was taken while the bombers were circling for more runs on harbor installations. Note the buildings, right, the obvious Japanese attempt to camouflage them, and the parafrags descending on their targets.
