Sgt Koezur at US Army Ordnance Depot

BOMB EXPERT - Sgt Henry J. Koczur, East Chicago, Ind., is seen at a U.S. Army Service Command Ordnance Depot in England. He and his four-man crew have repaired or taken the kick out of more than 6,000 damaged TNT bombs at airfields all over Britain. Their delicate work has saved hundreds of bombs from the demolition dumps. Sometimes planes come back with bombs chipped or dented by flak. Liquid death is oozing out and Sgt Koczur has to decide whether or not handling will set them off.
