Searchlight & Radar Section, Winter '44

A perfect illustration of a 225th searchlight and radar section taken during the Winter of 1944. From left to right, a 60-inch searchlight, four pyramidal tents, and an SCR-268 radar. The size of the tents can be gauged by the two GIs standing between the third and fourth tents. The setting is most likely a forward airfield in Belgium.
