This photograph captures the aftermath of an aircraft mishap in the China-Burma-India Theater, where American airmen operated under some of the most punishing flying conditions of World War II. A twin-engine USAAF trainer or utility aircraft lies crash-landed in a flooded rice paddy as ground crew work to salvage its engine, a scene that speaks to the constant hazards, from mountainous terrain to monsoon weather, faced by U.S. forces supporting operations over the 'Hump' and across the China-Burma-India front.
