Interior of the 312th Bomb Group Chapel, Philippine Islands, 31 January 1945

The interior of the 312th Bomb Group's improvised chapel in the Philippine Islands, photographed 31 January 1945 under Chaplain S.E. Snyder. Built with salvaged parachute silk draped as a ceiling canopy and furnished with simple wooden pews, the chapel reflects the deep importance of faith and community to airmen serving far from home during the Pacific Campaign.
