A crewman of the 345th Bombardment Group, the 'Air Apaches,' sits on the wing of a B-25 Mitchell medium bomber at Ie Shima airfield near Okinawa in 1945. The 345th flew low-level strike missions against Japanese shipping and airfields throughout the Pacific campaign, and Ie Shima served as one of its forward bases in the final months of the war.
