Saipan is a rather small island with a long history. From being one of the earliest settled archipelagos in the Micronesian area 3500 years ago to today, Saipan has been controlled by four super powers: Spanish, German, Japanese, and American.

A great number of aerial photographs were taken of Saipan by the American military before, during, and after the battle. All these pictures are from 1944 to 1945. Click the thumbnails for the larger pictures and comments.
I have lived in Saipan since 1996 and enjoy learning about the amazing history of this island. This is a collection photographs that I believe to be public domain. If you have rights to a photograph on this website and wish for me to remove it or if you would like to add a photograph to the collection, please let me know. Thank you. ewjohnson@pticom.com
