Iwo Jima Google map

I came across this great Google Maps mash up. It's a satellite map of Iwo Jima island, with relevant battle information superimposed. Click on the section you like and a pop up gives you more relevant information.

Nice!

Bob Meade has pointed me here, to a free webcast at the Pritzker Military Library with Gerald Russell and Bill Hudson talking about their experiences at Iwo Jima.

Thanks for the tip Gary. I'll explore these military history - google maps mashups some more.

By the way, if you've got an interest in the Battle of Iwo Jima, there's an interesting interview at the Pritzker Military Library with Gerald Russell and Bill Hudson talking about their experiences.
