Attacks on Yalu River Bridges, November 1950


Yalu River bridges at Sinuiju, North Korea, under attack by planes from USS Leyte (CV-32). Three spans have been dropped on the highway bridge, but the railway bridge (lower bridge) appears to be intact.
The Manchurian city of Antung is across the river, in upper right.
Photograph is dated 18 November 1950, but may have been taken on 14 November.
Compare bomb damage on and around the river embankment, in the lower part of this photo, with that in Photo # 80-G-422115, which was taken earlier.
