This photograph shows a North American B-25 Mitchell of the 345th Bombardment Group, the famed 'Air Apaches,' displaying bold shark-tooth nose art on Ie Shima during World War II. Flying low-level strafing and skip-bombing missions against Japanese shipping and airfields, the 345th's B-25s were among the most feared attack aircraft in the Pacific theater, their fierce painted faces matching their reputation in combat.
