1945 Vintage horizontal photograph from the height of battle on the sands of Iwo Jima. An intense piece of WWII photography, this captures smoke on the horizon as soldiers duck for cover and fight for their lives. Stamped on the back by the military, the photo even identifies the photographer as Obie Newcomb. One of the better images of Iwo Jima offered in some time and the first of this exact shot we have ever seen.
