  1. A story going with the plane? Don't see much bridge buster (or the Kwai River?)

     

    It's an aircraft of the 490th BS, which flew bombing missions in the China-Burma-India theater of operations. They developed a hop-bombing technique for attacks on bridges that was so successful that they were referred to as the Burma Bridge Busters.
