Bomber Command planes of the U.S. Far East Air Forces rain tons of bombs on a strategic military target of the Chinese Communists in North Korea. As part of the stepped-up aerial offensive against the enemy, attacks such as this are staggering the Reds, thus helping UN ground forces to stem the Communist push down the center of the Korean peninsula. The planes blasting the Red hordes are B-29 "Superfort" medium bombers. (circa January 1951)
