Tent Camp with Iegusugu Pinnacle in Background, Ie Shima, WWII Photo Album
The volcanic pinnacle of Iegusugu, Ie Shima's most recognizable landmark, looms over a row of tents in this photograph from a 345th Bombardment Group airman's album. Ie Shima served as a forward airbase for the group following its capture in April 1945, and images like this captured the everyday texture of camp life amid the island's stark, rocky terrain.
