  • Description: A Bulldozer moves the dirt at the first bend on the road to the summit of Mt. Suribachi on Iwo Jima, Bonin Islands. The construction of the road was started by the 32nd Marine Sea Bees about fourteen days after D-Day (19 February 1945) and on the first day a bulldozer reached the top of the mountain. Six days later a two lane road was roughly finished. Since 1891 when the Japs started development of the island they failed to or were unable to construct a road of any kind for vehicular passage to the summit. 10 March 1945.
