Ground Crewman Servicing R-2600 Radial Engine on Field Maintenance Stand

A ground crewman services a Wright R-2600 radial engine—the powerplant of the B-25 Mitchell—on an improvised wooden stand at a forward Pacific airbase. Engine changes and overhauls were performed largely in the open air, a testament to the resourcefulness of maintenance crews supporting the 312th Bomb Group's combat operations. Project: 218269
