From the caption that accompanied the image: "Fellow workers in civilian life, these Milwaukeeans met recently on Kwajalein atoll in the Marshall islands. They are (from left) Robert J. Doyle, The Journal's staff war correspondent; Lieutenant Louis Olszyk, on leave from The Journal news staff, now officer in charge of the 4th marine air wing news service at Kwajalein, and Ensign Ray Hansen, also on leave from The Journal news staff, who works in the naval air transport service office at Kwajalein." They are all smiling, and Doyle and Hansen hold Olszyk's legs as he reaches his arms up to hold onto the bottom of an open airplane door. Another airplane is in the far background on the right.
