Officer Inspects Burned Train After Japanese Bombing

In Liuzhou, Guangxi.  Train in the background burned after Japanese bombing on September 27, 1944.  In the foreground Col. Richard Wise (AGFRTS) takes stock.  According to Hal, Col. Wise was somewhat unconventional, and on at least one occasion made a parachute jump without the proper gear (proper shoes), and was bawled out by Chennault.
