[edit]
Description PR13-CN-1991-34-28: Battle for Iwo Jima, February-March 1945. Four high-ranking U.S. Officers, including Vice Admiral Richmond K. Turner (right), Commander-in-Chief of U.S. Operations on Iwo Jima, and Lieutenant General Holland M. Smith (second from right), Commander of U.S. Marines on the island, examine a scale model of Iwo Jima as they discuss plans for attacking the heavily defended island fortress. Such a high detailed model was made possible by excellent pre-invasion reconnaissance photographs from which every contour and characteristic of the terrain could be copied.
