Gallery: LABELED SQUADRON STUFF
Off-duty squadron life at remote China-Burma-India airfields, where airmen built officers' clubs from woven bamboo, wicker, and canvas and gathered for toasts, briefings, and mess-tent meals. Between the basha huts and rest areas, aircraft lift off from rough jungle strips and a bombed-out building marks the war's cost to local communities.
