Vehicles scattered over the desert, seen from the air

The desert floor, grey and nearly featureless, is dotted with small dark shapes set well apart from one another, each casting a short shadow, with faint wheel tracks crossing between them; near the centre a darker smudge appears to mark a burst. The source speaks of American B-25 bombers attacking desert supply bases. Vehicles were dispersed in this way so that one bomb could not destroy several.
