The typhoon pic is wild.You can see that the last Avenger that is tied down has broken loose and will be going over the side shortly.The one bird engulfed in flames is a Hellcat and all sea blue in color dates it to mid,late 44 through the end of the war and into post war.Very cool pictures BTW.Makes you wonder how many pictures of the war have been thrown out by uncaring relatives since.
As I pondered these last night, I thought the very same thing, there were a lot of guys who had cameras on all sides, likely the first war where cameras were common enough to be carried by that number of individuals.
I was cleaning out a drawer a few years ago, and came across an old undeveloped roll of 35 mm film. Just for yucks, I had it developed, and it was a roll I had taken of flight operations aboard the USS Kennedy back in the Seventies. It was like a trip back in a time capsule.
Then I thought, how many guys took pictures and never even got them developed? I’ll be there were a lot...a lot of exposed but undeveloped film tossed in the trash during the journey through life or at the end of it.
