    A black-and-white photograph taken from below showing a multi-engine aircraft in flight with a large explosion or structural disintegration occurring at the fuselage near the wing root. Debris is visibly scattering outward from the aircraft in multiple directions. The image appears to be a wartime or test documentation photograph capturing a catastrophic mid-air event.

    The workhorse of air delivery of leaflets in the Korean War was the C-47 Transport Aircraft. Also used was the B-29 Superfortress, which could distribute one million leaflets per flight. Some B-26 gunships were equipped with special pods that held several hundred pounds of leaflets, which could be dribbled out at a slow rate or dumped in bulk in a few seconds. By the end of the war, more than 2.5 billion leaflets had been dropped over enemy positions.
