While in the Navy I served on Kwaj from 1953 until late 1954, assigned to the USAF 1501st Air Rescue Squadron. I was part of Joint Task Force 7.1 (I think that was the designation of the Hydrogen Bomb test at Eniwetok). I was there during the Tisumi threat on Easter Sunday a result of an earthquake in Japan; we all were really worried about it, being the island was 7 feet above sea level. The barrack' upper floors were loaded with officer's dependents, and when the "tidal wave" hit the island, there was a small gush of a wave about a foot high!!!! Today I am 82 years old, nut still can remember my experience there.

Good assortment of pictures. My dad was with the VCBU 1-5 ,CBMU ,Unit 590 and later the Unit 607 of the Seabees. He had a assortment construction and aerial photos, also the building of the airstrip. He has least one of your photos No. 21, the aerials are simular. From Maine.
