Title: Kukum Landing, Guadalcanal
Description: Annotated aerial photograph showing development of the area by the Japanese, prepared for intelligence purposes prior to the invasion of Guadalcanal. The original print came from the USS Wasp (CV-7) photo lab, dated 4 August 1942, but was undoubtedly taken somewhat earlier by a long-range aircraft from an Allied South Pacific base. The original photograph came from Rear Admiral Samuel Eliot Morison's World War II history project working files. U.S. Naval History and Heritage Command Photograph.
