Airfield or Base Construction Site with Jeeps and Ordnance, Pacific Theater, WWII
Construction crews grade an airfield or support base somewhere in the Pacific Theater during World War II. Jeeps, heavy equipment, and ordnance dot the cleared terrain -- a reminder of the extensive engineering effort required to sustain naval air operations ashore, in support of escort carriers such as USS Petrof Bay (CVE-80).
