    The 'original' image was in fact missed, the now famous one was just a restaging at a later stage.

    Bit of WWII trivia... The Americans captured Iwo Jima as a place for damaged aircraft to land on the way from/to bombing missions in Japan..

    And it was the same photographer who took the pictures when they faked the moon landings.
