From left to right... John Alison, Tex Hill, Ajax Baumler, and Mack Mitchell. All these men had victories in the CBI, and all but Mitchell were aces.

They're standing next to an ex-AVG * P-40E marked with the emblem of the China Air Task Force. The emblem consisted of the original AVG tiger emblem (minus the seldom-used 'V for victory' component) adorned with an 'Uncle Sam' top hat, jumping through a Chinese nationalist star and clawing a Japanese flag to shreds.
