An Airman on Skis
Title
An Airman on Skis
Subject
Getting around on base was up to the discretion of the men of the Army Air Corps in times of snow
Description
As the brutal winter of 1944 set in, life at the forward operating bases (FOB) had to continue. Flying missions was still a possibility if the weather and runways were clear. This airman managed to find some skis to get around the base. Seen here standing outside the briefing tent in his combat gear, he wouldn't be entering his cockpit with wet boots and soggy socks.
