' Okinawa Inferno. In final phase of bitter campaign for Okinawa, U.S. Marines put almost the entire Kuski-Take mountain on southern sector of the island to the torch in attempt at capture of Jap headquarters hidden in caves there. Capture of the headquarters marked the end of Jap resistance. In this photo, taken from a P-38 photo plane the Jap stronghold at Kuski-Take can be seen engulfed in flames as a fire-bomb explodes on the mountainside. When flames subside any of the enemy above ground will have been burned and those in caves and dugouts suffocated. 8-3-45. '
