Famous picture of A-20's in New Guinea being shot down
I recently purchased the book: Gun Camera Pacific by L. Douglas Keeney. In it, is has that famous sequence of photos of two A-20’s taken in New Guinea that shows one of them crashing after being hit by flak.
I was wondering if anyone might know more about this as to where in New Guinea it was taken as well as what units these A-20’s were from as well as what model they are. I can’t tell if they were some of the clear nose versions that were converted into a "strafer version" or if they are the "G" model as both did see action in this area of the pacific war. Thank you in advance for any help. Michael |
