Description
Naval Air Pilot First Class Saburo Sakai, a fighter pilot of the Japanese Imperial Navy, sitting on a bomb. Some souces have the location of this photograph as Hankow, China, c. 1938. The bomb is a United States 500 pound bomb, c. 1940, and the flying clothing suggest the a later date and a different location, possibly the Philippines. (Donor Yashudo Izawa)
