Flames of destruction eat through a concentration of enemy troops on this ridge as the Fifth Air Force B-26 Invader bomber of the 452nd Bombardment Wing pulls away, bomb-bay doors still open, after loosing napalm (jellied gasoline) bombs on the area. Continued bombing of tactical targets such as these in support of United Nations forces is depriving the Communists of sorely needed war equipment in their spring offensive. (circa May 1951)
