Thanks for sharing.

I wouldn't call them rare, as there are plenty of books with Wartime Kodachrome photos about. It's just that people don't expect original WW2 (or even WW1) photos to be in colour. 😉

Dave, thanks for bringing this to our attention. Great photos from an awful period of time. I can remember, as a young child during the fifties, how the aftermath of that war & the Korean war permeated the life of my father, (he enlisted in the Navy in 1944 & was stationed at N.A.S. Pearl Harbor as a underwater wielder still cleaning up the wreckage of the 41 attack) and the military community at large. I have so many of his Kodachrome's & B/W images from that time.

Dave, I will work on posting some of them, they are truly amazing. When my father secured living quarters for us, my mother & I flew out of San Francisco Bay on the Mars seaplane & landed in Pearl Harbor, pretty cool adventure.

What a treasure!!!' You are indeed lucky, and we already appreciate your willing to share. It is a bit of work, but those two locations should have given beautiful backdrops for such an interesting family experience!!!🙂

Oh, man, as much as I hate (vehemently) war... these look like a great opportunity to learn from some beautiful slides. Will visit that site this evening.

Thank you so much!!!🙂
