DUKW Amphibious Truck Column Passing Through Crowded Honolulu Street During VJ Day Celebrations, 1945
Crowds fill a Honolulu street to celebrate Japan's surrender in August 1945. A column of DUKW amphibious trucks, workhorses of Pacific island landings, rolls past cheering spectators packed onto sidewalks, balconies, and rooftops — a vivid record of how news of victory transformed a wartime military hub into a scene of citywide jubilation.
