Charcoal drawing on illustration board. A large field with several lines of airplanes is bordered on the right by what appear to be hangars. Soldiers are standing around the field; the soldier in the center foreground is wearing a balaclava (headwear that covers the face). Several airplanes can be seen in the sky. Issoudun was the site of a large aviation training school for American forces during the war.
