The Battle of Tinian isn't as well known as Battle of Saipan, but it was an important part of the Mariana Islands campaign of World War II. It was mostly a US Marines show, but the other services were heavily involved. The battle is a good case study of the process of command decision making. The island became an important base for B-29 bombers and in August 1945 the atomic bombing missions were launched from there, which is what it is best known for today, if at all. There is plenty written about it though, and the article could have gone much deeper into the fighting. Hawkeye7 (discuss) 00:23, 1 July 2024 (UTC)

@Adam Cuerden: did an image review at A-class. Hawkeye7 (discuss) 00:28, 1 July 2024 (UTC)

Aye. I'd say any image improvement to comsider is more to do with FP than FA. It's fine. Adam Cuerden ^(talk)_{Has about 8.8% of all FPs.} 16:10, 5 July 2024 (UTC)
