1945 Rare aerial photograph of the landing craft approaching Iwo Jima in their attempt to take the strategic stronghold. With Mt. Surabachi dominating the photo, the wake created by hundreds of landing craft as they approach makes for an artistic and important reminder of the scale of the attack. A fine image from the Associated Press that is stamped on the back (1950's stamp). The stamp puts this photo at about the ten year anniversary of the event (vintage 2) making this a vintage but affordable example of this famous image.
