Verso Inscription, "Guam, August 1947, Rain" — VR-6 Squadron Album, Agana, Guam

The reverse of this photograph, from a Naval Air Transport Squadron VR-6 album compiled at Agana, Guam, bears a period inscription in the album owner's own hand: 'Guam, August 1947, "Rain."' Such handwritten notations offer valuable date, location, and context clues for researchers studying naval aviation logistics in the Pacific during the immediate post-World War II years.
