This annotation card, reading 'Jap planes at Nanking,' comes from a personal wartime photo album compiled during the China-Burma-India campaign. Though the accompanying photograph no longer survives with it, the caption reflects the everyday documentation soldiers and civilians kept of Japanese air activity over occupied Chinese cities such as Nanking, the former Nationalist capital. The language used is characteristic of 1940s American vernacular and is preserved as an authentic historical record. Project: 218381
