IWO JIMA PHOTOGRAPH

Eric Kimmel

14 hrs · Portland, OR · 

My dad was a Public Information officer on Admiral Nimitz's staff when the Iwo Jima photograph came in. Everyone recognized it as an important photo as soon as they saw it. Just about everyone in the office wanted a copy. I have the one my dad got, made from the original negative.

The inside story of the famous Iwo Jima photo
