A shower-water trailer sits parked in the mud outside squad tents at a 345th Bombardment Group encampment on Ie Shima, 1945. Known for its punishing mud during the rainy season, Ie Shima was the forward base from which the 345th's B-25 Mitchells - the 'Air Apaches' - flew missions against Japanese shipping and installations in the closing months of the Pacific War.
