Personally signed by United States
Marines and B-29 Airmen who made history on the volcanic island of Iwo
Jima during the climactic final chapters of World War II.
Iwo
Jima, a charred, volcanic speck in the Pacific, became a thing of beauty
to B-29 crews in trouble, returning from missions against Japan in
early 1945. The U.S. Marines paid dearly for their countrymen to live,
in what was one of the most famous battles in history. In 36 days of
combat, between six and seven thousand Marines died taking Iwo, with
many thousands more wounded. It’s estimated that the lives of nearly
25,000 airmen were spared as a result of being able to make emergency
landings there. In this scene, a crippled Superfortress of the 34th Bomb
Group limps onto Iwo Jima’s hard-won runway, carved from the volcanic
rock stretching outward from the base of Mt. Suribachi, site of the
famous flag-raising made famous in the world-renowned image by wartime
photographer Joseph Rosenthal.
The painting Iwo Jima: A Hard-Won Haven
was completed in 2006, and was unveiled for the first time at the
opening of the beautiful National Museum of the Marine Corps in
Quantico, Virginia. At this time, the painting and a lithograph edition
was signed by a group of veterans of the battle of Iwo Jima, including
Marines and B-29 pilots who made emergency landings there.
