The Snapshots in Time Collection
Gallery: Part 2
Air operations in the China-Burma-India Theater are documented here through P-38 Lightnings at forward airstrips, a bomber landing in Burma, burned fighter wreckage, and a serviceman posing on a captured Japanese aircraft. Alongside them, an officers' club Flying Tiger mural, an overloaded refugee train, and mass labor crews building airfields show the human scale of the war in China.
