The Snapshots in Time Collection

Gallery: Part 9

Photographs, studio portraits, and paperwork from a China-Burma-India Theater archive range from a riverside village beneath a hilltop watchtower to a scrapbook poem titled "Two Years Overseas??" and a Saul Steinberg cartoon of a Chinese street scene. Postwar Fourth Air Force reserve correspondence and a few misfiled documents round out a candid record of wartime service and its aftermath.
