My cousin on the wing of a P-47 Thunderbolt on Cebu Island. Missing in action since June 16, 1944, after strafing a Japanese airfield, when he was hit by a flak burst. Presumed dead. No trace of the plane or him was ever found.

Another shot of my Cousin Randall standing in front of his P-47 Thunderbolt. The captions were added by his friend, Iko, a Filipino, who saved them from being destroyed during a bombing raid by Japanese forces after Randall went missing in action. They were developed in Australia and mailed home to my aunt and uncle.
