Original caption: Rabaul, New Guinea: Clean Sweep at Rabaul. With the shore a flaming inferno, American planes continue their mission of destruction in Rabaul Harbour, main Jap stronghold in the South Pacific. A US Army Air Force B25 (left center) swoops low over a spot where either a bomb or shell has just burst while in the center foreground a Japanese ship burns. Twentysix enemy vessels were sunk or damaged in the November 2 raid. The white plume in the center foreground is a waterspout from a bomb burst.
