If i'm wrong about that or they have already been posted, please forgive me.

Thumbs up

It's amazing how pictures keep showing up from things of the past. Each one adds a new wrinkle to what's been learned before. Thanks for posting these, Jerry.

Very good stuff, thanks! But I doubt they were "found" like that. I've seen #8 before, and there's airfield shots and harbor shots on the same roll? If those are from the same roll in the same camera, the photographer was doing a lot of moving around. A Brownie didn't hold very many shots.

I agree with rondog. No. 13 was taken the day after the attack, with the Pennsylvania in drydock with one damaged and one sunken destroyer ahead of her. It's one of the more famous photos associated with Pearl Harbor. The pix may not be new, but they are indeed worthwhile to help us remember the world isn't a friendly place.
