Arnold's Story: Photos of Korea and Japan in 1946

These are photos from Arnold's posting in Korea from February to October 1946. (Several may be from Japan, instead — the photos were a bit jumbled together.)

Arnold's Story: February 1946 Japan and Korea

It appears they visited Tachikawa Airfield or departed from there for Korea for his next post. The primary defense of Tokyo, Tachikawa also produced fighters, troop carriers, and bombers, and was also the site of imperial technical schools. It was subjected to intense bombing by the U.S. Army Air Force near the end of World War II and ultimately rendered inoperable. The U.S. rehabilitated the airfield and designated it as a transport base, providing transportation for passengers and cargo in the Tokyo Area. It served as an air base for the U.S. through the Japanese occupation, the Korean War, the Cold War, and the Vietnam Conflict before being returned to the Japanese government in 1977.

Arnold's Story: February 1946 arrival in Japan

Arnold arrives in Japan in February 1946, probably by ship, given these harbor photos.
