A twin-boom American fighter aircraft, likely a Lockheed P-38 Lightning, sits on a forward airfield in the Pacific Theater, circa 1945. Photographed as part of a personal album connected to the 345th Bomber Group's operations from Ie Shima, this image reflects the mixed array of aircraft, bombers, fighters, and support types, that shared these austere frontline airstrips during the final push of the Pacific War.
