Dear Adoring/Wayne & Ramon,
Those pictures are amazing & incredible & quite a photographer (or phto..grphrs) who took them.
Thank you.
Joe/Angie
For all photography and history buffs, these are incredible photos!
Where have these pics been hiding for the past 65 years?
Japanese Kawanishi H8K seaplane after strafing. Kwajalein
Squad of Rufe's at Bougainville . These things were very nimble even with the pontoons.
The A6M2-N float plane version of the Zero did extremely well, suffering only a small loss in its legendary maneuverability. Top speed was not affected, however, the aircraft's relatively light armament was a detriment.
Snow on deck. USS Philippine Sea North Pacific 1945
HARVS on the way in shot by a P-47. Rare shot.
Deck crew climbing up to get the pilot out. He did. That’s a fuel tank his foot is on. Empty?
Marines disembark LST at Tinian Island .
Bougainville.
Guam
Outside Bastogne
German 280mm K5 firing
U.S. munitions ship goes up during the invasion of Sicily .
V1
Spitfire "tipping-off" a V1. If you've never heard of this insane tactic ... At first V1's were shot down by gunfire. Optimum range was inside 200yds, which was marginal for survival. Many planes were damaged and quite a few pilots killed. Basically at such high speed and low altitude a plane had to fly though the explosion and hope.
With the high risk of being blown up some of the best pilots started tipping the V1's wing, because of damage to wing tips they later developed a tactic of disrupting the airflow by placing their wing very close to the V1's wing, causing it to topple.
Not every pilot did this. At night this was not possible, the flame from the V1 blinded the pilot to everything else, though some Mossie pilots flew past closely in front of the V1, again causing it to topple. The thought of doing this at 450mph, 4,000 feet above the ground, at night and being blinded gives me the willies.
Panzerkampfwagen VI "E Tiger"
Ju 88 loading a torpedo. This is one HUGE bomber ... and it's on pontoons!
German "KARL" mortars. Sebastopol
Reloading a KARL

PICTURES TAKEN 69 YRS AGO & LEFT IN A BROWNIE ARE REAL INTERESTING.
====================================================
(December 7, 1941)
Isn't it amazing how a film could last so long in a camera without disintegrating?
Fantastic photos taken 69 years ago. Some of you will have to go to a museum to
See what a Brownie box camera looked like?
Here is a simple picture of what we are talking about.
These photos are absolutely incredible...Read below, the first picture and at the end...
PHOTOS STORED IN AN OLD BROWNIE CAMERA
Thought you might find these photos very interesting; what quality from 1941. These Pearl Harbor photos were found in an old Brownie stored in a foot locker and just recentlytaken to be developed. They are from a Sailor who was on the USS Quapaw ATF-110.
PEARL HARBOR
December 7th, 1941
