Twin-Engine U.S. Military Aircraft ('636') Landing at CBI Theater Airfield, WWII

A twin-engine Allied aircraft, tail-marked '636,' comes in for a landing at a China-Burma-India Theater airfield during World War II, its silhouette framed against monsoon-heavy skies. Aircraft of this type conducted reconnaissance, light bombing, and liaison missions in support of ground forces fighting through the jungles of Burma, often operating from rough, hastily constructed forward airstrips.
