Amazing photos. Seeing the B25 bombers in color was really cool, I had no idea they were like a taxi-cab yellow. I thought they would be a silver or black to better camouflage them.

Beautiful photos!
Two more excellent collections (at the bottom of the page):

# Captured: The Pacific and Adjacent Theaters in WWII (external link)


What we see depends mainly on what we look for.

Nice find. Thanks. The last photos was amazing.

I know this sounds weird, but I'm always taken aback when I view color photos from that era. I have to remind myself that the world wasn't in black & white.

But wait...

The exposure is off.

These weren't taking will "L" lenses

These look like snaps.

There's no blurriness in the background.

but, but, but...

It's amazing how much more 'real' it seems when it's not the standard b/w image. You actually get a sense of time and people.. Really powerful.
