This album page traces one airman's path from civilian flight training to combat service in the Pacific War. In 1942 he trained under the Civilian Pilot Training program at Lone Pine, California, before going on to serve with a B-24 Liberator squadron that, according to the handwritten caption, flew missions against the heavily fortified Japanese base at Truk Atoll -- a strategic anchorage of the Imperial Japanese Combined Fleet subjected to sustained Allied bombing throughout 1944.
