BE IN A MUSEUM!
Great pics just recently found
in an old foot locker and were able to be developed.

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?

GERMAN V1

Spitfire "tipping-off" a V1. If you've never heard of this insane tactic ........ At first V1's were shot down by gunfire.
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!

(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 the Brownie Box camera 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. Amazing quality for 1941.
These Pearl Harbor photos were found in an old Brownie Camera which had been
stored in a foot locker and just recently taken to be developed.
They are from a Sailor who was on the USS Quapaw ATF-110.
PEARL HARBOR – December 7th, 1941.
