Description:Half Mast sunset. On the first day after President Roosevelt's death, this half-mast flag in a Marine Torpedo bomber camp on the tiny island of Tinian in the Marianas was framed in an unusual Pacific sunset scene… a riot of swiftly changing colorful cloud formations against the darkening sky (National Archives, #119434)
