[Siren at Komaki Air Base]

Photograph of a siren at Komaki Air Base, Japan, April 1947.

Inscription: "Fire siren at Komaki Airdrome, used by the Japs as an air raid alarm. Boy, does it sound gruesome when it goes off. It can be heard for many miles. Nagoya, Japan. April 1947. P.S. Bus in background is our transportation to Nagoya, 7 miles away. It's a converted truck, with a Jap body on it. (car body, that is)."
