    Hope you enjoy these photos - they were found in a locker taken in 1941 by a Brownie camera and the film survived all these years.

    I know that pictures don’t always reach you so please let me know if they don’t come out.

        Great pixs. Hard to believe they were just recently found in an old foot locker and were able to be developed.

        The A6M2-N float plane version of the Zero did extremely well,
        suffering only a small loss in its legendary maneuverability.
        Top speed was not affected, however, the aircraft's relatively light armament was a detriment.

        GERMAN V1--------------------------------------------------------------

        Spitfire "tipping-off" a V1. If you've never heard of this insane tactic ....... At first V1's were shot down by gunfire. 
        .With the high risk of being blown up, some of the best pilots started tipping the V1's wing, because of damage to
        wing tips they later developed a tactic of disrupting the airflow by placing their wing very close to the V1's wing,
        causing it to topple. Not every pilot did this. At night this was not possible, the flame from the V1 blinded the pilot
        to everything else, though some Mossie pilots flew past closely in front of the V1, again causing it to topple. The
        thought of doing this at 450mph, 4,000 feet above the ground, at night, and being blinded gives me the willies.

        PICTURES TAKEN 69 YRS AGO & LEFT IN A BROWNIE ARE REAL INTERESTING.
        ====================================================
        (December 7, 1941)
        Isn't it amazing how a film could last so long in a camera without disintegrating?
        Fantastic photos taken 69 years ago. Some of you will have to go to a museum to
        see what a Brownie box camera looked like?
        Here is a simple picture of that Brownie Box camera, we are talking about. ... . 
        These photos are absolutely incredible.....Read below, the first picture and at the end...

        PHOTOS STORED IN AN OLD BROWNIE CAMERA

        Thought you might find these photos very interesting; what quality from 1941. These Pearl Harbor photos were found in an old Brownie stored in a foot locker and just recently taken to be developed. They are from a Sailor who was on the USS Quapaw ATF-110.PEARL HARBOR December 7th, 1941---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

        Share this with ALL ages...
        Elderly will remember;
        Young should be awed.
