A group of airmen probably in Japan right before or during the Korean War. The three wearing Ike jackets appear to have olive drab uniforms with the "transition" brass with U.S. and Air Corps devices. However, the sergeant third from right appears to be wearing the new blue uniform with silver collar discs.
