A view from a US Air Force aircraft near the Sinuiju airfield
Pre-Strike Photo of Nakwon Munitions Factory FEAF Bomber Command, Japan-- This aerial reconnaissance photograph shows a Communist Munitions factory at Nakwon, five miles from Sinuiju and only three miles from the Yalu river, before it was visited by B-29 Superforts of FEAF Bomber Command on the night of August 18-19. The factory, hit for the first time during the war, was said to be producing small arms munition and also believed to be turning out approximately 1,000 anti-tank and 3,000 to 5,000 hand grendaes daily. B-29 SUperfort crews of the Japan-based 98th Bomb WIng used accurate electronic aiming methods to drop their 140 tons of bombs on the target. The arsenal, 1,350,000 square feet in size, consisted of many buildings of steel and reinforced concrete. SUrrounding the factory were bunkers and ammunition stores catacombed in nearby hills.
