Contact Sheet 001: WWII China-Burma-India Theater Photographs -- Aircraft, Refugees, and Surrender-Era Scenes

This contact sheet compiles a series of snapshots from the closing months of World War II in the China-Burma-India theater. The images capture the diverse realities of the campaign's end: American fighter squadrons, captured and destroyed Japanese aircraft, a crowded refugee train, and a formal ceremony marking what is likely a surrender or liberation event -- together offering a personal, on-the-ground view of the CBI theater's transition from war to peace.
