Low-Flying Fighter Aircraft over River with Onlookers on Riverbank, CBI Theater, WWII, Kotec Burma Collection
This evocative photograph from the Kotec China-Burma collection captures a WWII fighter aircraft, likely a Curtiss P-40, flying low over a river in Burma while local children watch from the riverbank. The image poignantly illustrates the everyday intersection of modern warfare with the rural landscapes and civilian populations of the China-Burma-India Theater during World War II. Project: 218058
