Nude American airman lying on a cot on a rocky ledge near the ocean, Saipan, Northern Mariana Islands, 1945. Photos by Technical Sergeant Lisle George Neher, Dfc, who served as a Central Fire Control Gunner on the Boeing B-29 Superfortress “Hell’s Belle” in the Pacific Theater of Operations. He donated a large collection of photos he took as part of that crew of airmen to the digital collection of the National WWII Museum. The top photo is not shown there, I found it in my collection from I don't remember where on the internet, and it looks like a match.

  1. The top photo is a match. It is a cropped and enlarged portion of this photo from the National WWII Museum, also taken by Neher on Saipan: https://www.ww2online.org/image/airman-sunbathing-saipan-1945
