46th Fighter Squadron North American P-51 Mustang "Drip & Dick" being moved away from a burning Boeing B-29 "Superfortress" which crash landed on Iwo Jima, Bonin Islands.
That's a Harley Army 45 motorcycle at left......The plane was that of Richard Drinkwater, thus Drip & Dick
Wreckage of a North American P-51 which crashed while landing on Iwo Jima, Bonin Islands, after returning from a raid over Chichi Jima. The pilot, evidently, lost control of the wheels and the plane ploughed into tents, knocking a truck over and then burst into flames. The pilot died the next day and another person was killed when the truck overturned on him. 7 April 1945.
Shows how big the price of freedom really is.
