Fascinating Look at the Real WWII Air War. |
 |
 |
|
Hope you find this as interesting as I did. For you history buffs, this is incredible
The attached piece takes a few minutes to read and I guarantee that when you are finished, you will be glad that you had the opportunity.
It's a log describing 25 combat bombing missions over Germany in WWII. As you may recall, the 8th Air Force suffered unimaginable losses in the daylight bombing raids of this air
war.
.
Remember
12 O-clock
High, here is the real thing, a B-17 log that reads like a movie. Real history captured, including being shot down and E&E for months. If you like WW II history, you will like reading this logbook. It's the logbook for Joel Punches, Navigator, flying his B-17 bombing missions out of England and into France , Holland , Germany and Norway . It's great reading and starts with his trip over to England.

67 Years Ago my Dad shot this film along Kalakaua Ave. in
Waikiki capturing spontaneous celebrations that broke out upon first hearing news of the Japanese surrender.
.
Kodachrome 16mm film: God Bless Kodachrome, right?
I was able to find an outfit (mymovietransfer.com) to do a much superior scan of this footage to what I had previously posted, so I re-did this film and replaced the older version There are more still images from this amazing day, in color,
