IWO JIMfl.. LANDING CRAFT GO IN AT IWO BEACH Following the days of blasting by the heavy units, the assault waves hit the beach under cover of our fire. The Jap gunners are still po- tent and effective, but the amphibious craft never waver as they carry load after load of Marines from the transports to the beach.

V MOUNT SURIBACHI— THE ARKY ALTERS ITS FACE Our special target was Mount Suribachi, a dead volcano rising starkly at the southern tip of the island. The laps had it fortified with railroad guns, AA guns, and observa- tion posts peeped out of hundreds of pits and crevices. We gave Suribachi plenty of hell with our main battery for days. One of the biggest thrills of the whole Pacific war was the moment when the lookouts reported that the American Flag was being raised at the top of the mountain — the now immortal scene of the U. S. Marines hoisting the colors.
