This collection consists of two black and white photographs taken by Eunice L. Brownson Brownley on Tinian, Northern Mariana Islands, circa late 1945.
Tinian Island, part of the Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands, fell to the Japanese after World War I. It was captured by the United States on June 15, 1944. From December 1944 until the end of World War II, the island served as an airbase for Boeing B-29s. It was the loading point for atomic weapons onto the Boeing B-29 Superfortress Silverplate Enola Gay. Eunice L. Brownson Brownley (1919-2014) was a registered nurse who served in the U. S. Army Nurse Corps from January 1945 until May 1946. During this time, Brownson was stationed on Tinian, and later in Kyoto, Japan.
