Title: Iwo Jima Operation, 1945
Description: Two Landing Craft, Infantry (Large) [LCI(L)] off Iwo Jima at what appears to be dawn, probably during the pre-landing bombardment, circa 19 February 1945. These craft, dimly visible at far left and at right, are probably LCI(R) or LCI(G) variants of the basic LCI(L). Note the two small bright spots at horizon level (left), which may be tracer rounds or small rockets. Original 35mm Kodachrome transparency, photographed by Lieutenant Howard W. Whalen, USNR, Boat Group Commander, USS Sanborn (APA-193). Collection of Lieutenant Commander Howard W. Whalen, USNR. Donated by Mrs. Nadine Whalen, 1997. U.S. Naval History and Heritage Command Photograph.
