IWO JIMA maps from my Dad

[imarangemaster]

I mentioned that my Dad was with Army HQ that went ashore on Iwo Jima before the Army landed and took over from the Marines. He passed on to me a pre-invasion planning map, his copy, #93, of which was made in Dec 1944 (see bottom corner of second picture). I believe he said that the original was made much before that (1943 comes to mind, but I am not sure.

The second map is his post invasion minefield map from March, 1945, he was issued as he had to travel the island for Army HQ signal Corps.

They are as high of a resolution as I dare go so you can blow them up and read them. I tweaked the color as best I could.
