Ford Island Waterfront with Control Tower, Pearl Harbor, Hawaii, 1945

The unmistakable silhouette of the Ford Island Control Tower rises above the Pearl Harbor waterfront in this 1945 photograph. Having survived the December 7, 1941 attack, the tower remained a functioning landmark of the naval air station through the final year of World War II and stands today as a National Historic Landmark.
