A group of United States Army Air Force pilots belonging to the 339th Fighter Squadron, who intercepted and shot down Imperial Japanese Admiral Isoroku Yamamoto, walk together beside a Lockheed P-38 Lightning during World War 2. They sit together near the aircraft and discuss with a map. The commander, Major John Mitchell, holding the map points straight to his comrades before pointing something on the map. On his right are Lieutenants Besby Holmes and Rex Barber. To the left of Major Mitchell is Captain Tom Lanphier. The pilots are standing again near the Lockheed P-38 Lightning, discussing together. Major John W. Mitchell, wearing helmet and goggles, poses and smiles while holding a propeller’s blade.
