CHARLES W. LINDBERG - (1920 - 2007) U.S. Marine who was part of the combat patrol that climbed Mount Suribachi and raised the first of two U.S. flags on the summit during the battle of Iwo Jima. Great S.P., 10 x 8 in. glossy b/w, showing the soldiers of the first combat patrol posing with the now famous flag towards the base of Mount Suribachi. Fearing the patrol may not make it to the summit, photographer Lou Lowery asked the men to hold up the flag for this photo. Lindberg signs at right in black ink. Fine.
