What a beautiful picture, from every standpoint. One of the best
compositions of a/c & people on an active WWII base I have ever seen.
Any idea who the photographer was?

No idea on the photog. I like it especially since Don Wilson is a friend
and I was able to chat with Gene Youngs before he passed way.

You post an awful lot of stuff, Jack, and I try to save all of it, but this is by far one of the best ones you've come up with. Do you have a larger resolution version of this photo?

Absolutely breathtaking composition, and the historical significance cannot be missed either.
