This album page from a Marine Corps fighter squadron veteran's personal scrapbook documents everyday life and the aftermath of combat during the Central Pacific Campaign of 1943-1944. The images show a squadron intelligence officer on a tent-camp road of Marston matting, an airman before a squadron alert tent at Kwajalein Island with a fighter aircraft visible in the background, and Marines inspecting a captured Japanese bunker at Tarawa shortly after the battle. Together they offer a rare informal, first-person view of a Marine fighter squadron's advance across the Gilbert and Marshall Islands. Project: 218301
