[Townsend and Keifer at air base]

Photograph of Captain Townsend (right) and Sergeant Keifer (left) at an unidentified air base in Japan, April 1947. The plane behind them is a Stinson L-5 Sentinel of the United States Army Air Forces. Mount Fuji is visible in the background.

Inscription on verso: "Capt. Townsend and Sgt. Keifer, operators of the Fuji Grand Hotel. They came out to the strip to see me the day I went up there to fly Capt. Townsend back to Nagoya. Fujiyama 'posed' for me again. Steady old Fuji! She never moves. In fact she helped the U.S. win the war. When it was bad weather over Japan, Fuji would always stick through the top of the clouds and the B-29s were using her position on their bombing runs. Nagoya, Japan. April '47."
