Original Item. Only One Available. The Battle of Iwo Jima was fought in February and March, 1945 in the Volcano Islands (more broadly the Bonin Islands), about 750 miles (1,200 kilometers) south of Tokyo. The battle was fought entirely by the US Marines and Navy. Iwo Jima has the distinction of causing more casualties for the Americans than the Japanese. Iwo Jima has been immortalized as Joe Rosenthal took one of the most famous pictures in the history of the world, "Raising the Flag on Iwo Jima."
This map shows the “Covered Artillery” built on the Island of Iwo Jima with Principal Directions of Fire Indicated. The map uses a color-coded system with blue, purple, and salmon. Near the top right it’s marked:
MAP APPENDIX
CINCPAC-CINCPOA BULLETIN NO. 136-45
CONFIDENTIAL
The map measures roughly 14 x 19¼” and has some damage to include tearing along the edges and some tearing along the fold markings. The map is marked along the bottom edge JICPOA L-50608-54. This is the code for the base map on which the changes were made to identify covered artillery.
