Yokwe. This is a relatively long page with lots of images, but nothing fancy.
It should load, eventually. Photos can be used, if credited, for non-commercial purposes.

Historic (late W.W.II.) photos of Kwajalein
[Republic of the Marshall Islands]

Click on any photo to see a higher resolution enlargement. Three sets.

The two dive photos, of a W.W.II. era B-25 Bomber at Roi Namur, the northern part of Kwajalein atoll. Photos are courtesy of Mark Miller, a long time resident (and now a teacher in Massachusetts). Greg Brundshidle is the diver pictured in the second image.

Photos (second group) used courtesy of Conrad Solis, photographed by, Rosendo Solis, JR., Aviation Machinist's Mate Third Class(T) US Navy, Marshall Islands 1944. Exact location of some photos is in question. Anyone who knows anyone in the pictures, or was on this same island with the Navy in 1944 can email Conrad Solis.

Possibly Chuuk
(too much slope /elevation for the Marshalls)

The above 12 photos are property of the Rosendo Solis Jr. family.

Below is a series of photos from either 1944 or 1945, from Kwajalein, in the Marshall Islands. To the best of my knowledge, these images are unique and constituted a private collection. The sole exception is the last image, which is obviously a photo snapped of other photos. I do not know the exact dates or specifics of any of the photographs. Many of the photos were labeled in pencil (generally May-June, 1994) and had an imprinted data (I assumed done by the developer) from 1945. [Historians, or former residents may contact me, and I can provide high resolution TIF images, which should show more detail.]
I retained the sepia color of the photos, but presented the first in both true sepia and greyscale. The photos had clearly faded, and many showed evidence of being mounted in a scrapbook. I'm sorry if the thumbnail images are blotchy. The high resolution images are much better.
