This post-strike photo of the Korea battle area west of the Naktong River near Waegwan shows where U.S. Air Force Boeing B-29s made a mass strike on 16 August 1950, at the request of Army Forces in Korea. This photo shows the density of the bombing pattern with craters from the 500-pound bombs evident throughout the whole photo. The 99 planes bombed an area approximately 3 and 1/2 miles by 7 and 1/2 miles, unloading more than 3,400 500-pound bombs.
