A group of American servicemen pose with a visiting civilian at an airfield in the Myitkyina area of Burma during World War II. Myitkyina, captured by Allied forces in 1944, became a vital hub for the China-Burma-India Theater, supporting the Air Transport Command's efforts to resupply China over 'The Hump.'
