Description
English: A picture of en:Jaluit Atoll. It is from a dossier compiled by the Office of Naval Intelligence on the Marshall Islands. Given the limited experience with them, they apparently took any pictures they could find, including from travel guides; while uncredited in the file, this picture is from page 44 of Umi no seimeisen : Waga nannyou no sugata, a travelogue written in Japanese. (See http://dl.ndl.go.jp/info:ndljp/pid/1223403/99 ) This picture acquired new interest after it was prominently featured in en:Amelia Earhart: The Lost Evidence and it was claimed that people in the background were Amelia Earhart and Fred Noonan, a claim later shown to be impossible due to the publication date of 1935.
