A quiet, war-scarred landscape near Ie Shima or Okinawa, photographed by a member of the 345th Bombardment Group during the final months of the Pacific War. Damaged village buildings stand beneath an ornate pagoda-style roofline in the distance, a haunting juxtaposition of traditional Ryukyuan architecture and the destruction wrought by the 1945 Okinawa campaign.
