Great views of Iwo Jima from all different coastal sides showing the terrain, with a few showing Motoyama Airfield or a faint radio tower. The photos were taken in July, 1944. There are 15 photos in all, each measuring approx. 7" x 5". They are glued down to pages as if removed from a scrap book. These photos are rare and an amazing WWII collectible from a military insider. The United States carried out a bombing campaign of Iwo Jima for nine months beginning in June, 1944. The famous Battle of Iwo Jima (19 February – 26 March 1945) was nine months later. It was a major battle in which the United States Marine Corps and Navy landed on and eventually captured the island of Iwo Jima from the Imperial Japanese Army during World War II. Provenance: Lt. Chas. T. Idle Collection.
