Squadron Officers' Club Interior with Wicker Furniture and Pin-Up Mural, CBI Theater, WWII

Interior view of a squadron club tent in the China-Burma-India theater during World War II. Airmen stationed in the CBI theater often built improvised recreational spaces such as this one, furnished with wicker chairs and a makeshift bar, complete with hand-painted pin-up artwork -- a common morale-boosting decoration found throughout Army Air Forces squadrons of the era.
