Hollandia
Here are some interesting photos of the American landing at Hollandia, Dutch New Guinea. Good for a "spot the type" quiz.

Wtf!
From isolated beach to traffic grid lock within a few hours. It's no wonder the local natives had difficulty understanding what was going on and the cargo cults took a hold. Look at it through their eyes. We would be as flummoxed if aliens arrived on Earth today.
There sure is an interesting variety of gear there Lang. David

What is that trailer in the foreground of the last picture? Seems to be a lot of dead space on the chassis and also, the chassis looks a bit like one trying to be ID'd right now on another thread.

I would hazard a guess that it is a modified bomb trailer.

Here is a selection of photos of Hollandia and nearby Noemfor.
Note the drowned GMC's and Dodges (and even a jeep) in the bottom photo waiting to be fetched by the bulldozers. Armoured dozer on right. Last edited by Lang; 20-06-17 at 00:25. |
