Summary

Description

USAF Douglas B-26B Invaders of the 452nd Bombardment Wing returning from a mission over North Korea, May 1951.

Original caption: "Homeward Bound-A tight formation of B-26 Invader light bombers of the Fifth Air Force's 452nd Bomb Wing (light) do some cloud hopping as they head for their home base in Japan. They have napalm and .50 caliber fire, and now seek a welcome refuge from the rigors of dodging mountain-tops and other ground objects. At this stage of the mission , crew members relax and secretly give thanks that this one is nearly over."
