"Willing" Draftees



During The Battle of the Bulge, AAF personnel who were grounded due to bad weather (and with nothing to do) were pressed to the front to help out with the advancing German Wehrmacht. Here, an airman with a B-10 flight jacket, A-6 gloves and B-3 flight cap mans a .50 cal M2 "Ma Deuce" machine gun. He's receiving instruction from what I assume is an infantry machinegunner.
