I was at the bookstore last year, and saw a book about the Navy with ALL the pictures like the one shown. Maybe that's why it was in the bargain section?

From the original AAF Photo caption:

"A tired pilot and North American P-51 "Mustangs" on the line at Iwo Jima, Bonin Islands.
The Boys suffered most just from the 8-hour rumba of seat against seat."

TTFN,
PB
