Wreckage of Japanese Fighter Aircraft on Captured Airfield, Burma Theater, WWII
The burned wreckage of a Japanese fighter aircraft, its red Hinomaru roundel still visible on the scorched fuselage, sits abandoned on a captured airfield. Images of destroyed Japanese air assets such as this were common as Allied forces advanced through the Burma theater during WWII, overrunning airstrips left in ruins by retreating Japanese forces.
