broken chevy
This Chevy has suffered a broken back , the bomb crater in the foreground.
And a cab 12 heading North on the main road. A few aircraft pics in the book and day to day scenes of service people. The book has no text except for basic descriptions of the large format photos.

Fatal crash
After reading a little more I discovered the Coomalie creek squadron was a Photo Recon Unit flying Mosquito and at least one Lockheed Lightning which was written of after a landing accident.
This pic depicts a Mosquito fatal take off crash , the pilot killed and the other crew member survived somehow . All of that wooden airframe burning like a torch. This was during the last few months of the war.
