At 9:00 a.m. on February 19, 1945, the soldiers of the United States Marine Corps 5th Division, H Company lowered themselves down rope cargo nets into landing crafts rocking in five-foot seas. They were less than a mile from the shore of the remote South Pacific island of Iwo Jima. H Company was made up mostly of 18 to 20 year-old boys who had been training for this day for over a year.

Why on earth would they atempt something like that before the island was secure? ;)

Ditching is nearly a sure way to die.

There is video of so many B-29s trying to land at Iwo that some had to ditch in shallow water among navy ships.
