This page from a personal wartime photograph album belonging to Edward P. McAleer captures three American servicemen at a Pacific theater airfield encampment in 1944. The handwritten caption, 'Just Back and Happy About It,' along with flight goggles worn by one man, suggests the group had just returned from a flight mission. Rows of canvas tents in the background reflect the austere, improvised living conditions common at forward air bases across the Pacific during the war. Project: 218148
