Korean War Pictures - Bomber Pilot Preparing for Another Combat Mission

Looking grim and determined, veteran bomber pilot Capt. Criffis DeNeen, 18405 Patton Ave., Detroit, Mich., veteran of 39 combat missions over North Korea prepares for another. He is assigned to the Fifth Air Force's night flying 3rd Bombardment Wing, Korea; his aircraft is a hard-hitting, U.S. Air Force B-26 Invader light bomber. Night crews of the 3rd specialize in tracking down enemy truck convoys attempting to resupply 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. (circa November 1951)
