Synopsis
In the years following World War II, images of comradeship, particularly of men being physically close, largely disappeared from the public record. But, as these stunning photographs attest, ordinary American men in the extraordinary circumstances of World War II were affectionate, winsome, and playful - disarmingly innocent in a time of cataclysmic peril. Led by photography giant Captain Edward J. Steichen, the U.S. Naval Aviation Photographic Unit was organized during the war to record the daily experiences of Navy men all over the world and to provide newspapers and magazines with images to promote the American cause. The unit's photographers, which included Wayne Miller, Horace Bristol, Victor Jorgensen, and Barrett Gallagher, took thousands of pictures of soldiers as they relaxed, trained, prepared for the next battle, and waited. This book brings together more than 150 of those photographs culled from the National Archives, including many that have never before been published. Whereas World War II imagery tends to be dominated by combat photography and monumental depictions of weaponry, these photographs offer a rare, intimate look at the Navy men themselves.

    Great value. Shipped quickly and arrived in good condition as described. There was zero damage in transit but only through good luck, as the packaging was almost non existent just a thin plastic envelope - no padding. If I order from this vendor again I will request that they use extra packing materials.

    I received the Belkin Hub and discovered that the SD Card Reader wasn't working and contacted the seller. He issued an immediate refund! I would say that this is a trusted seller!

    Iconic moments....

    Among the most compelling photos I've had the pleasure to view. And I don't think the subjects or the photographers knew this at the time. Just wish I had found this volume sooner!
