This handwritten note, reading 'Had to get up close to appreciate this one. (Obscene Corinne),' is a personal annotation from a WWII-era photo album kept by a member of the 345th Bombardment Group, the 'Air Apaches,' who flew B-25 Mitchell bombers from Ie Shima in the Pacific Theater. The comment almost certainly refers to nose art - a painted figure or pin-up named 'Corinne' - applied to one of the unit's aircraft, a common and cherished form of personal expression among WWII bomber crews. Such candid captions offer a rare, human glimpse into the everyday humor and camaraderie of servicemen far from home. Project: 218235
