FEAF BOMBER COMMAND, JAPAN--As the words informing the world of the truce being signed in Korea reached the ears of military personnel in Korea and Japan, emotions were expressed in a variety of ways
Description
  • Scope and content: FEAF BOMBER COMMAND, JAPAN--As the words informing the world of the truce being signed in Korea reached the ears of military personnel in Korea and Japan, emotions were expressed in a variety of ways. Here, A/2C Wilbur E. Baker, Gloucester, Mass., a B-29 "Superfort" gunner with the 98th Bomb Wing in Japan, throws a handful of practice .50 caliber ammunition into the air, in a release of tensions caused by months of tiring combat duty. Throughout the Korean war, "Superfort" medium bombers pounded key Communist military targets deep in North Korea and along the enemy battleline, unleashing their 10-ton bomb loads into troop and supply concentrations, transportation facilities, battleline installations and other strategic enemy objectives.
