WWII maps of New Guinea and surrounding areas.
| Dobodura was to the south of Buna. The B-25s were north of there (Buna). Port Moresby had lots of airfields, Dobodura had 2 airfields, and after our outfit left there they increased it ever further. When I was in the 9th Fighter Squadron we lost 10 men. Kiriwina Island was about 180 miles from Dobodura, then another 310 miles to Rabaul; and from Rabaul back to Dobodura was about 420 miles. [c/o George Alber] |
