Elements of the 312th Bombardment
Group, or the "ROARIN' 20's" sweep across Japanese-occupied
Clark Field near Manila, on the island of Luzon, 14 January,
1945.
Lt. R.W. Cleveland, 387 Bomb Squadron, flying an A-20G sporting
a winning poker hand with the face of Batman's nemesis, "the
Joker", narrowly avoids colliding with the squadron commanding
officer, "Jake" Alsup's mortally wounded A-20, which
was hit by anti-aircraft fire put up by the many AA emplacements
that dotted the former US Army airfield. - Signed and numbered
