This scrapbook page from a Marine Corps aviator's personal collection pairs candid flight photographs with a 1944 newspaper clipping reporting the rescue of Captain George 'Sonny' Franck, a former University of Minnesota football star turned fighter pilot, after he was shot down during a strafing attack on Wotje Atoll. Such personal albums preserved the camaraderie and close calls that defined Marine aviation in the Pacific War. Project: 218157
