The Snapshots in Time Collection
Gallery: Part 4
A veteran's China-Burma-India Theater album gathers portraits at field camps, airmen with their jeep, and a Curtiss C-46 Commando taxiing on a forward airstrip along the "Hump" supply route. Transit photographs of Giza and a few stateside snapshots filed among them trace the wider journey, from Cairo layovers to the civilian life servicemen returned to.
