A young boy stands outside a corrugated-iron building in the Manila area, photographed by a member of Naval Air Transport Squadron VR-6, based at Agana Field, Guam. VR-6 aircrews regularly staged through Philippine airfields in 1945 as they ferried personnel, mail, and cargo across the Pacific, and snapshots like this one of everyday local life reflect the human encounters that accompanied the war's logistical network in its final year.
