Required to live under battlefield conditions in WW II, crew members of the 17th Troop Carrier Squadron were often required to improvise. Here, a pilot in the squadron, William A. "Wild Bill" Hitchcock shaves in the field using a "jerry can" as a "dressing table." Note the view from his "bathroom window." (Original photograph courtesy of Mrs. Genevieve Hitchcock, 1996.)
