Curious if anyone might know where I can find the photo of General MacArthur that was taken at the beginning of the Solomon Island campaign. He is smoking a corn cob pipe while looking out of a plane window. There is a young man in the background of the picture. Let me know if anyone is familiar with this image and where I might be able to find it...thanks.
