This hand-drawn caricature, captioned 'Wendling Air Field, England, 1943,' humorously depicts three ranking officers -- Lt. Col. Gilbert, Col. Rendle, and General Hodges -- striding across the airfield that was home to the 392nd Bombardment Group's B-24 Liberator crews, including the 579th Bombardment Squadron. Informal sketches like this offer a window into the camaraderie and personality of Eighth Air Force units stationed in England during the strategic bombing campaign against Nazi Germany.
