Three Uniformed Airmen with Liaison Aircraft (Piper Cub/L-4 Type), WWII-Era Overseas Airfield (Pat McAleer Album)
Three uniformed airmen in tropical pith helmets pose before a Piper L-4 Grasshopper-type liaison aircraft at an overseas airfield during World War II. Light, unarmed observation planes like this one played a vital reconnaissance and artillery-spotting role, flown from austere forward airstrips in theaters ranging from North Africa to the Pacific.
