Headline Wednesday: Iwo Jima and the Flags on Suribachi, World War II follows the climb up a black volcanic ridge while the rest of the island burns below. This episode centers on the Marines of the 28th Regiment fighting through volcanic ash, tunnels, and concealed guns to cut off Mount Suribachi and raise two flags that became icons. We set that moment against the larger air war over Japan, where a tiny, sulfurous island sat astride the route of B-29 raids and mattered far beyond its eight square miles. Headline Wednesday is the Wednesday feature of Dispatch: U.S. Military History Magazine, and the series is developed by Trackpads.com.
