1945 Panorama Photos of Okinawa


Okinawa Scenery 1954Okinawa Scenery 1954I have been able to put together some panoramas of Okinawa in 1945 based on photos that GI's took probably with no idea that 65 years later computer software would be able to take their photos and stitch them together into panoramic views of what they were looking at.

On the horizon you can see the islands of Miyagi (Takabanare), Heianza (Henza) and Hamahika (Hama-Higa).
