Iwo Jima
Here is a series of photos taken in World War Two taken on Iwo Jima, mostly of aircraft activity. Great pictures, uncensored, be warned.
Due to the graphic nature of some photos this may not be safe for work.

Fantastic. From where did you get them?
However, you can Google "Iwo Jima aircraft photos" and find it that way as well.

Lower left photo is definately Rabaul with the volcano in the back ground.

Connie,
Well found.
Judging by the composition and lighting of many of the photos I would say that they were taken by some of the professional photographers that the US forces used to record their activities.
They are a fantastic record of a deeply unpleasant time that is worth recording for posterity.
