[Aerial view of] Yenangyaung. Photographer: Royal Air Force
- Scope & Content:
-
Genre: Landscape Photography
Aerial view taken by 681 Squadron looking down onto part of the oilfields, with the Irrawaddy at the bottom of the print. The typescript caption label on the back of the print reads: 'A great deal of activity has been noted in Yenangyaung Oilfield since Japanese occupation and reconstruction has shown continuous progress. At Nyaunghla Tank Farm the Japanese have camouflaged one 2,000,000, one 1,000,000, one 500,000 and two 100,000 gallon tanks by covering them with netting. The netting is light coloured and as they are dark toned burnt out tanks, this merely rendered them more conspicuous.'
[Gelatin silver print, 178x212mm].
