U.S. Army Air Forces combat operations in the Pacific theater during World War II

Smoke rising from bombs exploding almost obscures bombs dropping from B-29s on a large Japanese city, on a river, during World War 2. B-29s seen passing through the smoke, as viewed from the camera plane flying above them. Scene shifts to an airfield, where a P-51D Mustang fighter plane is landing, while another is taxing the opposite way, along the other side of the runway. Other U.S. Army Air Forces warplanes seen in the background include: B-29s and B-24s. The P-51 lands, while watched by a group of airmen standing by with crash equipment and fuel trucks, parked next to a large tent. It pulls off the active towards the group of airmen. Another P-51 lands as two take off from midfield. Several airmen watch the operations, atop a hill where they are silhouetted against the sky.
