Crewmen pose beside a B-25 Mitchell strafer bearing fierce shark/tiger-face nose art and a bold lightning-bolt stripe, its nose bristling with forward-firing machine guns. Aircraft like this one, flown by the 345th Bombardment Group ('Air Apaches'), carried out low-level strafing and skip-bombing attacks against Japanese shipping and airfields from bases such as Ie Shima during the final year of World War II.
