BACK FROM THE FIGHTING FRONT. A group of war-weary wounded soldiers stand by while one of their number is lifted from the Air Force C-47 which brought him to this field in Japan from a forward airstrip in Korea. Speedy air evacuation of casualties in the Korean fighting has proved to be a great morale booster as well as a practical means of saving lives in many instances. (July 28, 1950)
