The Tel-pics Syndicate company issued a daily war photo (except Sundays) for home front subscribers during the peak war years. This is a large format image on thin 1940s paper (thicker than newsprint). Professionally packaged in a rigid mailer for safe delivery.Photo OverviewThis image features the wreckage of a B-24 Liberator bomber, which crash-landed in New Guinea. Members of the salvage crew are inspecting the aircraft, and markings on the plane indicate the number of missions completed and enemies shot down by the bomber's crew. The scene captures a moment of inspection and potential repair with military personnel present.The B-24 Liberator was an American heavy bomber used extensively during World War II in various campaigns. Known for its long range and high payload capacity, the B-24 played a crucial role in both the Pacific and European theaters. Its presence in New Guinea speaks to the intense air battles over the Pacific islands during the war.Text Present[Front] Entered as Second Class Material at New York, N.Y.
