Coconut Palms and Volcanic Crater Along Hawaiian Coastline

Coconut Palms and Volcanic Crater Along Hawaiian Coastline

Coconut palms bend in the trade winds along a Hawaiian shoreline, with a volcanic crater rising in the distance. Scenic images like this were often captured by American servicemen passing through or stationed in the Hawaiian Islands during World War II, offering a personal counterpoint to the military record of the war in the Pacific.
