A U.S. Army truck convoy passes a shattered coral outcropping on Okinawa, its slopes stripped bare by the artillery and naval bombardment that characterized the 1945 campaign. Fought from April to June 1945, the Battle of Okinawa was among the costliest engagements of the Pacific War, and images like this one capture the devastated landscape American forces navigated in its aftermath, as supply convoys kept troops moving across the island.
