Aerial View of Rugged Hawaiian Coastline and Small Settlement, WWII Era

A rugged stretch of Hawaiian coastline, photographed from the air, showing dark sea cliffs, breaking surf, and a small rural settlement at the mouth of a coastal gulch. Scenes like this reflect the pastoral, plantation-era landscape of Hawaii that existed alongside the islands' military buildup during World War II. Project: 218724
