Best Answer - Chosen by Asker: The original flag was indeed a somewhat smaller flag!.The photographer witnessing the act of victory under fire was so moved by the scene that he captured it on movie film!.A little later a much larger flag was supplied and the still photo recreated in order to look better in newspaper pictures!. The newsreel footage shown in theaters was the original!.Www@QuestionHome@Com They raised it twice because they didn't have a camera the first time!. Google "Flag of Our Fathers"Www@QuestionHome@Com Yes, they had to raise it twice 'cos the first one was too heavy!. So they had to come back with a smaller one ;) "!.!.^Www@QuestionHome@Com yes u correctWww@QuestionHome@Com |
