The island of Okinawa looks like a huge war surplus dump in Mydans' 1949 photos, but this Texan was brought in after war's end and serving with the base flight of the 6332nd Air Base Group at Kadena. Fatally crashed a few months later on 27 April 1950. Photo by: Carl Mydans / Life This photo was added on 28 June 2023, and has since been viewed 388 times. |
