That pic is too famous for us to be sad.
The guy is rather a hero like "Well done. Well endured."

That is so odd to me. Perhaps the first Japanese soldier these guys had seen?

If I'm not mistaken this was taken on Iwo Jima after either a B-29 crashed into the Mustang flight line or one of the P-51's lost an engine on takeoff, can't remember which now.

By the fuselage stripes it appears to be a 458FS ship from the 506FG.
