WWII Scrapbook Page: Marine Corsair Squadron Ground Crew Clipping and Personal Photos with Handwritten Memorial Note for 'Jim Banks,' Killed 1943
A personal WWII scrapbook page pairs a published photograph of ground crewmen arming a Marine F4U Corsair fighter with private snapshots and a handwritten remembrance. The note identifies a squadron mate, Jim Banks of Oklahoma, killed at Santa Barbara in 1943 - a poignant reminder that training and stateside duty carried real risk alongside combat overseas.
