The Snapshots in Time Collection
Gallery: Part 2
Snapshots taken around Myitkyina, Burma, after its capture in 1944 record the visitors who reached this remote China-Burma-India outpost: entertainers gathered beneath a transport wing, local residents outside a shop, and airmen posing with companions in CBI-patched flight jackets. Handwritten dedications on the reverse sides preserve the personal ties behind a vital wartime logistics hub.
