Description:Marine landing. Marines land on Tinian island in the face of light Japanese opposition. Here men wade in from stalled landing boats while Amphibious tractors move in and out from the beachhead with ease. In the background can be seen the huge force of troops, carrying ships, and fighting ships which took part in the landing. July 25, 1944. (National Archives # 87623)
