Douglas C-54 Skymaster on the Tarmac at R2S

Title: Douglas C-54 Skymaster on the Tarmac at R2S
Identifier: WFC_129
Description: A Douglas C-54 Skymaster sitting on the tarmac at the R2S Drill Field, seen from under the wing of another stationary airplane.
Commentary: The Drill Field at R2S (or Roger Two Sugar on radio) rarely had planes coming or going because it was surrounded by Japanese-controlled territory and therefore too vulnerable.
Creator: Donald Earl Willmott
Location: The army base R2S near Lichuan (current day Jinzhai, Anhui 金寨县) behind Japanese lines in WWII.
