AN aerial photograph of Hollandia, chief town and port of the Dutch Territory of Western New Guinea. Hollandia, which is only a few miles west of the Dutch- Australian border, on the north coast of New Guinea, was the scene of a very successful American-Australian exploit during the Pacific War. This new town was ouilt around the former American Army Hospital. The Cyclops Mountain (“a mass of nickelore") is seen in background.
