This scrapbook page from the McAleer family collection pairs everyday images of Pacific island life with a poignant wartime portrait. The bottom photograph shows a young Marine aviator in flight gear at Marine Corps Air Station Santa Barbara in 1944, identified in period handwriting as belonging to Marine Fighting Squadron 112, the famed 'Wolfpack.' A handwritten note records that the airman, Jerry Miller, was later killed in action during the Korean War in 1951 — a reminder that many WWII-trained aviators returned to combat less than a decade later. The accompanying snapshots of a pineapple harvest and a Jeep detachment behind sandbag fortifications document the broader Pacific deployment experience of Marine aviation personnel during the war.
