The King Inspects 8th Air Force Units

Rifles snap to "inspection arms" as the King (King George of England) looks over the guard of honor at an Eighth Air Force bomber station somewhere in England.

Third airman from the right holding rifle at port arms is Willis Russell Burrage, Assistant Crew Chief on Shirley Jean for his first few month after arriving in England. He then became a Crew Chief for another plane. The photo is from a San Antonio newspaper.
