Photographed inside a large maintenance hangar in 1946, this image shows a P-51-type fighter aircraft, personally marked 'Lt Abbot,' undergoing servicing at what is identified in this collection as Keesler Field, Mississippi. The photo dates from the immediate postwar period associated with a visit connected to General Eisenhower, illustrating the routine depot maintenance that kept America's fighter fleet flight-ready even as the war drew to a close.
