Captured Japanese Anti-Aircraft Gun Mount with American Serviceman in Background, Luzon, Philippines, WWII
A close view of a captured Japanese anti-aircraft gun's base and firing mechanism, its bolted steel plate and traverse gearing exposed to the camera. In the background, an American serviceman stands near a makeshift camp, a reminder that these weapons were documented amid the everyday routines of soldiers occupying a former enemy position during the Luzon campaign.
