Saipan. *shudder*
June 1944 - U.S. Marines dig in on the beach at Saipan in preparation for the attack on Japanese positions inland. In the background, one of the amphibious tractors used by the first wave of assault troops, burns furiously, the result of a direct hit by Japanese artillery. Photo by Sergeant James L.
