[AJ!]

Those are incredable.... :huh:

[tycho102]

They did a good job. There were some foulups on their part, but they still managed to do a good job. I'll give them that -- I have always given them that.

I think I've seen a couple of those pictures before, but still a nice find. Thanks!

[AG124]

I too have seen a few of them, but most I have not.:huh: Great find AVGWarhawk!:up: If you find some more, be sure to share those with us too.:D

I have seen a couple before (the last one in particular) but most of them are new to me. Got a question about the photo's, what's the name of the ship (or type) in the floating drydock?

If you're speaking of the last photo, those are the Mahan Class destroyers Cassin and Downes in the foreground and the battleship Pennsylvania behind them in Drydock No. 1. Smoke from the still burning Arizona is in the background.

If you are speaking of the seventh photo down that's the destroyer Shaw burning in floating Dry Dock No. 2.

It was the seveth photo, I was knew about the last photo. It was the U.S.S Shaw that blew up in one of the photos

Thanks

Oh, when I stated new photos found, it was not by me. It was a gentlemen who was there that taken these pictures. These you do not see in the history books because this guy was hanging on to them. But yeah, some really clean shots of the event.:up:

[BettingUrlife]

History is always the most amazing thing, it never ceases to make me wonder. These kinds of pictures make me think what it would really would have been like to have lived during those times.

[R Hardman]

Can never see enough historical WWII photos.

[The General]

"A day that will live in infamy..." and in WWII simulations. Remembering the brave men, living and deceased, that were involved on the day.

[Fritz Wagner]

They are very good pictures but some of them date back to at least Life's Picture History of WWII from about 1950.:)

Cordially,

I've seen some of those in several books which dated from the 1950s and 1960s as well [including Clear for Action and an old HC edition of Winston Churchill's Memoirs] - the one of the Cassin and Downes, the one with the Shaw exploding, and the one with the explosion behind the PBY are particularly common and have been in many books. Still, some of those I have never seen in my life, so maybe it was those which were held back from publishing and not the rest.

It seems they are not very new. I hadn't seen them before though, so cheers for posting them! :D
