Photos from the airstrip at Iwo Jima

Just got this link in an email and immediately thought of my AH2 brethren. Some of you may have seen these, but I'm sure there are other who haven't... anyways, enjoy.

Nice link.  A good chance my Dad is in a couple of those photos.  He was on Iwo Jima with a Signal Corp radar outfit.  He saw the crash of the B-29 into the parked Mustangs and had photos he had taken of it.

Thanks for posting.
