The original caption of this photograph reads: This is one of a series of three remarkable combat photographs showing the close coordination of U.S. Marine air and ground units during recent fighting with Chinese Communists in Korea. U.S. Marines drove forward after effective close air support of F4U-5 Corsairs. Billows of smoke and flame form a small target area bear out the accuracy of the flying Leathernecks' marksmanship. Photo taken at Higaru-ri, 26 December 1950.
