American servicemen examine the wreckage of a downed Japanese twin-engine aircraft in the mountainous terrain near Okinawa, spring 1945. Scenes like this were common in the aftermath of the Okinawa campaign, as Allied forces overran Japanese airfields and combat sites, leaving destroyed aircraft as both battlefield debris and impromptu curiosities for Allied personnel stationed nearby, including airmen of the 345th Bombardment Group based on Ie Shima.
