Three American servicemen strike a playful, mock-crawling pose on the sandy terrain of Ie Shima, the small island off Okinawa that became a major forward airfield for the 345th Bomber Group's B-25 Mitchells in 1945. Candid moments like this reveal the humor and camaraderie that helped sustain airmen and ground crews during the intense final months of the Pacific War. Project: 218231
