WW-11 Photos of John S. McCain's Father-Grand Father

Historical Data: As we know Senator John S. McCain, is a former Vietnam era US Navy fighter pilot, shot down over North Vietnam and spent (5) years in a North Vietnamese POW prison. During my WW-11 research of the thousands of photos, I am currently going through, I have come across, (what I believe are) (3) very rare World War 11 photos of John S. McCain's Grand-Father (a U.S. Navy Vice-Admiral) and Senator McCain's Father, (who was a U.S. Navy Commander). For more of these and other related photos type photos........

Thanks, Chuck, lots of folks don't know how far back service to one's country goes in the McCain family. Quite a few years of service, when added up. Were those official Navy pics, or some from private private folks?

Hi Scotty, these and all the photos I have posted are actual World War 11 combat photographers photos. Some may be from higher authority (ie) U.S. Ordnance, U.S. Signal Corps, being restricted marked photos, during the WW-11 era, (that have been since released for publication), during those times, and places they were taken.
