Great Pics just recently found in an Old Foot Locker after 74 years and were able to be developed.

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.

Wow, it's hard to pick out some things but to realise that it was a different time, when we were at war. Our people fought and died on strange land and some of the things that happened were never seen by anyone outside the war zone. Thank you for letting us see them.

Rare WWII Photos-Part Three

These photos are absolutely incredible.....

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 QuapawATF-110.

PEARL HARBOR – December 7th, 1941.

Isn't it amazing how a film could last so long in a camera without disintegrating?

Fantastic photos taken 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.....
