Iwo Jima, Volcano Islands


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.
