Comprehensive study of the famous Rosenthal photo and the struggle by the Marines - aided by amateur historians - to determine who exactly is in the photo. The Marines have revised the official lineup at least twice since the end of the war.
Ironically, the navy corpsman (Bradley) whose son wrote the book that Eastwood's movie was based on (Flags of our Fathers) was determined after lengthy study not to be in the photo.
