Korean War Series284

A one-for-all handshake celebrates the return of the last UN airmen to bomb the enemy in the Korean war, the crew of a U.S. Air Force 3rd Bomb Wing B-26 Marauder of the Liberty Bell Squadron. These crewmen dropped their bombs just before the cease-fire went into effect Monday night, July 27. It was appropriate that members of this squadron flew the last combat strike, since crewmen of the same squadron dropped the first bombs against the enemy on June 28, 1950. July 1953
