The battle of the Solomon Islands, August, 1942. Another view of Tulagi Island. Upper right shows the smoke plume of burning supplies following the attack by American carrier based Navy bombers. The island appears to be joined to the main Florida Island which crosses the entire top of the picture, but there is really a channel of deep water (upper left) which is hidden by the high hills on Tulagi. The small islands in the foreground are reading from bottom to top: Songonangona Island, Kokomtambu Island, and ...gai Island.
