Photographed during the afternoon of 15 June 1944 from a plane
based on USS Langley (CVL-27), during raids on Iwo Jima,
Chichi Jima and Haha Jima in support of the Marianas operation.
The view, taken from off Iwo Jima's northeastern side, looks
southwesterly. A TBM "Avenger" bomber is in the upper
right.
The original print came from Rear Admiral Samuel Eliot Morison's
World War II history project working files.
