Tinian Color Slides
Fall 1944–June 1945
As a lieutenant in the U.S. Army Signal Corps, Lt. Irving Winkler was stationed in Tinian, in the Mariana Islands, from Fall 1944 through June 1945. Tinian was invaded by U.S. Marines on July 4, 1944 and secured August 10, but “mop-up” operations continue until December 31. Tinian was the busiest airport in the world in 1945, as the U.S. Armed Forces used it as a base to bomb the Empire of Japan. This culminated in August 1945, when B-29 Superfortresses, stationed on Tinian, dropped atomic bombs on Hiroshima and Nagasaki, hastening the end of World War II.
Over 300 35 mm color slides, taken on Tinian during Winkler’s tour of duty there, have been digitized at 1200 dpi. Thumbnails of these can be viewed here.
Subjects include:
- Miiltary Personnel
- B-29s bombers
- P-51s flighter planes
- Chamorros (Natives of Tinian)
- Koreans
- Japanese
- Baseball
- U.S.O. Show
- Construction
- Flag-raising
