       Adding to my collection. Hard to see the very noticeable
       outlines of Betio but definitely there and identified as such...
       From a collection of photos in WWII :

       Thanks for posting TR. Yes, it sure is Betio. Can even see the
       ships in the bombardment area in the background. At the bottom
       of the photo can be seen the tip of Bairiki, the next islet in
       the chain around the lagoon to the left.
