B-25 Taxing To Load Up For Mission

A B-25D of the American 491st Bombardment Squadron is on the taxiway.  Maintenance men who prepared it for the mission stand in the shade of tree. Small bombs, 100 pounds, are seen neatly stacked in the middle of the photo. Closer, in the center, are three 500 pound bombs. They lack the guide fins, and still have the transport 'rings' attached to make it easier to move them around.  Photo believed to have been taken at Yangkai, Yunnan Province, in the spring or summer of 1944.
