Servicemen Aboard Transport Ship Near 'Out of Bounds' Ladder, 345th Bomber Group Collection, Ie Shima
Aboard a Pacific transport ship, one serviceman perches defiantly atop a ladder marked 'Out of Bounds' while another rests, exhausted, nearby. This candid moment from the 345th Bombardment Group's photo album reflects the long, tedious voyages that carried airmen to forward bases like Ie Shima during World War II. Project: 218237
