| Description: | Marines wade ashore to the beach on Guam while the terrific aerial and naval bombardment goes on overhead. One of their tanks (right) moves in to cover their landing, as they wade through waist deep water past a Japanese plane (left). It was downed while attempting to prevent their landing operation. (some notes on back of photo state that this plane had to be shot down in mid-June as it states that no Japanese planes opposed landings on July 21) July 21, 1944. (National Archive 80-G-239021) |
