B-26 Photo


Capt. Criffis DeNeen, veteran of 39 combat missions over North Korea prepares for another flight. He is assigned to the Fifth Air Force's night flying 3rd Bombardment Wing, Korea. During the war, night crews of the 3rd specialized in tracking down enemy truck convoys attempting to re-supply frontline forces. The B-26s carry a formidable armament load of bombs, napalm, rockets and .50 caliber ammunition, and can locate their targets in darkness or foul weather by radar techniques.
