This handwritten caption card, reading "Airfield at Shanghai," originates from a personal photo album compiled during or shortly after World War II, likely by a serviceman stationed in the China-Burma-India Theater. Rather than depicting a scene directly, such caption pages were used throughout period albums to identify the subject of an accompanying photograph. Shanghai's airfields served as key nodes for Allied air operations in China during the final years of the war and the immediate postwar period. This artifact offers a glimpse into how veterans documented and organized their wartime photographic records. Project: 218375
