An impressive collection simply in terms of finding and arranging, even if many of the photos look familiar.

Quite a photographic history!
One correction I might add to photo 104 - neither atomic bomb hit the ground. They were air bursts.

Excellent photo essay! Many pics in there I've never seen before.
#19 is an interesting shot of Vought SB2U- Vindicators in formation. Never seen that before. They appear to be flying over the USS Ranger, which would then place this in the Atlantic.

Dawgs, the arrow on photo #104 has writings describing "Exploded at 500 m altitude on August 9, 1945".

Photo 48 is great. My Dad's LST was No. 204.

There we go - the sign is correct but the caption wasn't
Thanks!

Fantastic pics! In pic 79, what is that attachment on the end of the M1 Carbine's barrel? Is that a grenade launching attachment?

Great set.
Just a few days ago, I saw an ad for a four disc set of stills and film clips which included about a half dozen of these.

My dad took part in the Leyte landing, having been transported from New Guinea (Buna?) on the USS Sheridan-APA51, which was one of the ships at the surrender.

Makes you really appreciate the level of detail that went into "The Pacific"
