I believe the movie "Flags of Our Fathers" documents those events pretty well.The Rosenthal photo wasn't staged. It was photographed during the second, larger, flag raising.
Two separate events. The second raising got a lot more publicity because Rosenthal's photo turned out so good.
Note the Ryan also undergoing repair in the background.
This is A9-712 and wears Japanese characters under the wings to indicate to Japanese forces on the ground that the war was over, in Bougainville. The writing reads "Japan Surrenders".
It looks like something Wile E. Coyote would order from the Acme catalog.Anybody know anything about this device and how it functions?
It's a bullet trap.Anybody know anything about this device and how it functions?
The word "降伏 (kofuku = surrender)" would have been understood "I surrender" or "Surrender!" by the Japanese forces. Though a little bit longer, "戦争終結(senso-syuketsu = war ends)" would have been better.
