Samenvatting
A visually stunning collection that brings the soldiers' experience to vivid photographic life- includes a DVD.

The Aviation Photographic Unit was a military unit unlike any other in World War II. Founded and led by legendary photographer Edward Steichen, the photographers in this unit gave Americans on the home front memorable and dramatic images of the people fighting the Navy's battles in the Pacific theater. Beginning with just half a dozen intrepid shutterbugs and expanding to ten battle-seasoned photographers, the unit covered everything from early aircraft raids to amphibious landings to the surrender in Tokyo Bay.

Steichen's unit included such well-known photographers as:

LCdr. Horace Bristol
