Those are incredable....

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!

I too have seen a few of them, but most I have not.

Great find AVGWarhawk!

If you find some more, be sure to share those with us too.

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?

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.

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!
