Typed caption on verso: "Here is a group of AACS men at work in the interior of a typical China tower. The GI on the extreme right is operating a 'light gun' and the GI second from left is speaking on the radio-telephone to a pilot cruising above. Their synchronized efforts will ultimately result in the aircraft landing safely, and this invariably takes place in any weather and under any emergency conditions. (Official USAAF Photo)."
