Aerial View of Honolulu with Diamond Head Crater in the Distance, Oahu — WWII Era
This aerial photograph looks across the city of Honolulu toward the distinctive crater of Diamond Head (Le?ahi), with the Koolau Range and a heavy cloud bank rising beyond. Aerial photographs like this were routinely taken by military aircrews during World War II for navigation and reconnaissance, and today offer a rare bird's-eye record of Oahu's wartime landscape.
