| Description |
English: British Equipment at An American Airfield- Anglo-american Co-operation in Wartime Britain, 1943 Sergeant Raymond W Szatkowski from South Hedley Falls, Massachusetts helps Corporal C M Marchbanks into an asbestos fire-fighting suit at an airfield somewhere in Britain, as a B17 Flying Fortress lands behind them following a mission over the Ruhr. The asbestos suit enables the wearer to work for several minutes in fire, enough time to rescue any trapped crew members should an aircraft catch fire on landing. The aircraft features the letters UX, indicating that it is an aircraft of 407 Squadron, 92nd Bombardment Group. |

Licensing
This file is in the public domain because it is a mere mechanical scan or photocopy of a public domain original, or – from the available evidence – is so similar to such a scan or photocopy that no copyright protection can be expected to arise. The original itself is in the public domain for the following reason:
This tag is designed for use where there may be a need to assert that any enhancements (eg brightness, contrast, colour-matching, sharpening) are in themselves insufficiently creative to generate a new copyright. It can be used where it is unknown whether any enhancements have been made, as well as when the enhancements are clear but insufficient. For known raw unenhanced scans you can use an appropriate {{PD-old}} tag instead. For usage, see Commons:When to use the PD-scan tag.  |
