Squadron Tent Building with Canvas Roof and Screen Door, China-Burma-India Theater, WWII

A semi-permanent canvas-and-frame building, likely a squadron operations hut or quarters, at a U.S. Army Air Forces installation in the China-Burma-India theater during World War II. Simple comforts such as curtained windows and decorative palm fronds reflect the personal touches airmen added to austere field living conditions. Project: 218052
