via Japan Probe
From a WWII US Navy training film strip.
I'm reading up on the situation in Okinawa. If you haven't been following it, the Japanese island is in an uproar following the alleged rape of a 14-year-old girl by a U.S. Marine stationed there. In the course of my research, I came upon these stills from a World War II film strip, designed to train Navy pilots in the event they were shot down in the Pacific theatre. The still above, meant to teach soldiers to distinguish their Japanese enemy from their Filipino friend, is one of many at which I'm shaking my head.
