SUNDAY, 10 JANUARY 1943 CBI - INDIA-BURMA THEATER (10AF):
In Burma, six B-24s and B-25s jointly attack the Myitnge bridge, knocking out a span and causing considerable damage to the entire target.
10AF B-24s and B-25s Target Myitnge bridge near Mandalay Burma 10th Jan 1943 NA529
Photo description: Part of the tons of explosives being poured on the Japanese installations in Burma in the stepped up campaign of the United States Army Tenth Air Force under Brig Gen. Clayton L. Bissell have been directed at the strategic Myitnge Bridge in Burma near Mandalay, Medium bombers attacked the bridge last week (Thursday) to score two near hits. These pictures show the bridge under attack on January 10th when bombers attacked it to score three direct hit and to completely knock out one span. The accuracy of the bombing is shown in the pictures. Following this raid the Japanese started to repair the damage and on February 11 Army heavy bombers again attacked the bridge to demolish another span and damage the approaches. Last week the northern approaches to the bridge were damaged without any losses for the Tenth Air Force. The Myitnge bridge is of great importance to the Japanese since all railway and vehicular traffic from central and southern Burma to Mandalay, Lashio and Myitkyiha, all important Japanese bases, must pass over it.

Photo description: The reconquest of Burma depends largely on the disruption of Japanese lines of communication and supply there, and that's why U.S. Army Air Forces planes return again and again to bomb the Mu River bridge at Nyaungbinwun. This bridge controls traffic over a 250 mile stretch of the Burma Railroad between Mandalay and Ye-U. The US public has seen photographs of the Mu River bridge destroyed in the past, but the structure had been completely rebuilt when 6 B-25 bombers of the Eastern Air Command, escorted by 16 P-38's returned to that area again early this year. It stands out sharply in this photo, nicely rebuilt by the Japanese after previous destruction by US Army Air Forces planes. The scene is serene - except for the ominous shadows in the river - three US planes swooping in for the kill.(U.S. Air Force Number 27692AC); Skimming the tree tops for better aim, a USAAF medium bomber can be seen over the Mu River Bridge, Burma, Just after dropping a 1,000-pound missile.

IJAAF Tachikawa Ki 36 IDA at Blair Field Fort Bayard Liuchow Peninsula taken by 14AF B-25 28th Oct 1943 NA221
Photo description: The Tachikawa Ki-36 (named Ida in Allied reporting code) was a Japanese army co-operation aircraft of World War II. It was a two-seat, low-wing monoplane with a single piston engine and fixed, tailwheel-type undercarriage. The 14th Air Force also takes low level pictures. A North American B-25 took this photo of a light reconnaissance bomber on Jap-occupied Blair Field at Fort Bayard on Liuchow Peninsula of South China. This plane is probably an Ida (T.98), as is suggested by the tail assembly. Note slit trench and tripod tower set in circle. Shortly afterward, a strafing Lockheed P-38 left the plane in flames. The date was 28 October 1943. (U.S. Air Force Number 26565AC)
