'The second phase of the Okinawa Campaign consisted of the objectives of Ie Shima which housed the big airfield of the islands and Motobu Peninsula. With Rear Admiral Lawrence F. Reifsnider USN commanding the attack group the U.S. Army's 77th division landed on April 16 1945. The invading force thought that the Japanese had abandoned the airfield due to aerial photo reconnaissance but they met about 3000 men as they moved towards the center of the island. Not unlike the Battle for Iwo Jima the island had networks of underground tunnels enhanced by Mt. Gosuki but the island was secured on April 21. Famed War Correspondent Ernie Pyle was killed on Ie Shima while covering the occupation. To repair the destruction caused by prior bombing and naval gunfire support U.S. Navy Seabees repaired the airstrips. Of note the island was utilized by the Japanese Surrender delegation in mid-August 1945 as a stop point between Japan and Manila Bay Philippines for negotiations with General Douglas A. McArthur USA' National Museum of the United States Navy online. The illustrations in this rare souvenir cover a wide range of the activities of the 960th in the Pacific theatre during the Second World War. 960th Engineer Aviation Topographic Company paperback
