Papers and photographs of Casimir A. Burczyk, who served as a photo interpreter with the Army Air Force in the South Pacific during World War II. The collection consists mostly of photographs taken during Burczyk's time in the South Pacific, particularly on Iwo Jima. There are many shots of planes, including almost twenty of unique nose art painted on the aircraft. Other photographs show the military base that was built on Iwo Jima including building, vehicles, equipment and cemeteries. Most photos of personnel, including some of a basketball game, are unidentified. The photographs are of a high quality and give a good idea of the military establishment on Iwo Jima, but their lack of identification limits their overall usefulness. The papers consist of separation and discharge forms for Burczyk, as well as some brief reminiscences of his service.
