Twin-Engine Allied Aircraft in Disruptive Camouflage, Burma Theater, World War II

A camouflaged twin-engine Allied aircraft takes off or lands on a rough airstrip in the Burma theater of World War II. Aircraft such as the Bristol Beaufighter and Lockheed Hudson flew low-level strike and reconnaissance missions from primitive forward airfields across Burma, supporting the China-Burma-India campaign against Japanese forces from 1942 to 1945.
