Marine Corps Tent Camp with Field Water Heaters and Incinerator Drums -- VMF-214 1945 Album
Rows of pyramidal tents and improvised drum water heaters mark this Marine Corps forward encampment, photographed for the VMF-214 'Black Sheep Squadron' 1945 unit album. Such images document the everyday infrastructure -- far removed from combat -- that sustained Marine aviation units at Pacific island airfields during the closing months of World War II.
