Iwo Jima Operation, 1945
"Echelons of Amtracks churn their way ashore to crawl up
the invasion beach of Iwo Jima and bring their loads of Marines
another step on the road to Tokyo." Quoted from the original
photo caption, released by the Pacific Fleet on 22 February 1945.
The LVT (amphibious tractor, or "amtrack") in the foreground
is marked "SA-29".
