U.S. Bombers score Direct Hit on Jap BIP. This photo shows a Jap ships of Lae, New Guinea, after suffering a direct hit from an American bomber. Smoke can be seen rising from amidship while flame pours out from the sterm. A smaller boat, apparently a landing ....is scurrying off in a deperate attempt to escape .... of bombs. This destruction is typical of what took place later in nearby Bismark Sea, where Allied planes bombed and slank and entire Jap convoy of 22 merchantmen and warships.
