Three of the 6 men who planted that flag were subsequently killed in
action, as was Sgt. Robert Campbell, the Marine Corps cameraman who
filmed the event.

His partner (barracks-mate giung into Iwo, Lester Wilson, used the same gear. Wilson left his right leg at Iwo. He later taught me.

Joe Rosenthal, who took the famous picture of the (second) flag raising at Iwo Jema died yesterday near San Francisco.

I have no idea what kind of camera he used then, but his picture is a good example of photos that influence all of us for a long time.
I did what I could with the photo in the article, but can't tell whether there is a camera there, however with a little imagination one can make out the front of a Rollei Lens Hood. Maybe a bit early for Rollei's but I'm sure someone in the group will know.

I am almost certain Rosenthal used a Speed Graphic. There is a newsreel of the flag raising. I understand it was done several times for the press. There is also a obit in the N.Y.Times.
