The final photograph we have of my Cousin Randall and his Filipino friend, taken on Cebu Island. Note the cigar Iko is smoking; Randall always smoked cigars and pipes.

2nd Lt. Randall V. Tuttle and Iko

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.
