Wrecked airplanes and P-38 operations on Henderson Field, Guadalcanal, during World War II

U.S. military personnel working at end of Henderson airfield on Guadalcanal during World War 2. One pushes a wheelbarrow. Camera pans across and along runway to P-38 aircraft parked haphazardly in grass. It continues to pan, showing lots of damaged aircraft and parts, including several P-40s. Mechanics work on one of the P-40s. A fuel truck passes. Tents are seen behind the piles of parts and aircraft. Numerous auxiliary fuel tanks are piled up in one area. Broken aircraft parts are seen in a ditch off the side of the runway. Trees and foliage are in the background with tents pitched amongst them. As the camera continues to pan farther down the runway, it reveals more orderly campsites, with tents and laundry drying. Mechanics work on the engine of a P-38 parked on a sandy ramp. Palm trees and water seen in background. More P-38s are parked in good order. Scene shifts to a P-38 taking off. It is followed by a second, and then a third, all taking off in quick succession.

Officer paints nose art on B-29 bomber Deaner Boy of U.S. Army Air Force at their base on Tinian, Mariana Islands during World War II

United States Army Air Force crew at their base in the Tinian, Mariana Islands during World War II. A Army Air Force officer stands on a hoist near the cockpit of a B-29 bomber paints a picture on it. Picture of a baby wearing boxing gloves. Officer paints the baby's diaper with white paint. Soldier looks at nose art painting on the B-29 nose with written wording "Deaner Boy" on it. Another soldier walks up and looks at the nose art painting. (Note: Painter might be Lieutenant Dean C. Forburger, based on examination of image reflected back from aircraft body. Forburger was a B-29 pilot stationed at Tinian at the time, and images exist of him standing beneath this nose art. Forburger was not a member of the crew on Deaner Boy when it perished in a mid-air collision accident in February 1945. The Deaner Boy nose art was painted at least twice on this aircraft, as there are also other images of it in existence with a side-facing baby and cursive lettering for "Deaner Boy").
