Printed caption on reverse: 'Left to right: 1- Major GeneralKepner, 2- Lt General Spaatz, 3-Colonel Duncan, 4- Lt General James Doolittle, 5- Brig General Woodbury, AAF Station 366 Metfield This photo was taken on the visit by Spaatz, Doolittle, Kepner and Woodbury to Metfield (not Raydon) on March 14, 1944. It was taken just outside the main pilot briefing complex. The 'Brass' were visiting as part of a tour of 8th Fighter bases and, no doubt, to check out Col. Duncan's suggestions for a specialized strafing squadron. The day after their visit, General Kepner authorized Col. Duncan to set up the specialized squadron named 'Bill's Buzz Boys' in Kepner's honour.
