tonguedepressors: Para-frag bombs fall toward a camouflaged Japanese Mitsubishi Ki-21, “Sally”, during an attack by the US Army Fifth Air Force against Old Namlea airport on Buru Island, Dutch East Indies, on October 15, 1944. A few seconds after this picture was taken the aircraft was engulfed in flames. The design of the para-frag bomb enabled low flying bombing attacks to be carried out with higher accuracy.
