USAAF Officer Briefing Aircrew at Mission Status Board, Edward P. McAleer Collection, World War II

Dressed in fleece-lined A-2 flight jackets and leather flying helmets, these U.S. Army Air Forces aircrew represent the operational rhythm of a World War II air base between missions. Project: 218148
