7th
Fighter Command Photo Gallery
BACKGROUND:
The following photo Albums are a
collection of photos that I have gathered over the years from my personal
trips to the National Archives, and photos that have been donated by veterans
and veterans family. Some of the photos are commonly available,
but most of these photos have never been presented on the Web before.
Depending on the response I get from these first albums on Iwo Jima, I
will be adding additional photos to them and also creating new albums on
other areas of the Pacific Campaign.
I have included targeted, non-obtrusive
advertising on the side in order to try and recoup some of the cost of
the servers - If you see something interesting in the ads I would
appreciate it if you would click the ad and take a peek
THE ALBUMS:
IWO JIMA
Iwo Jima Pre-Invasion Photos
Iwo Jima Invasion Photos (to March 31st 1945)
Iwo Jima March 26th Banzai Attack Photos
Iwo Jima Operations Photos after March 31st 1945
Iwo Jima Photos of Airplane Crashes and Damage
Iwo Jima Photos comparing 1945 to Today
CONCERNS:
My biggest concern about presenting these photos was
there are certain elements out there that will try and make a profit off
of other peoples property and labor. This happened in the case of
some Picasa photos I had posted and within weeks I saw them for sale on E-Bay as
copies of original photos.
We are a non-profit Association and when
veterans donate their photos to us I make a promise that the photos will
never be used for commercial profit. Therefore I guard those
photos carefully and when you see those presented, they will have a
watermark on them. Please do not copy them without my permission.
I am always happy to share my collection with
WWII veterans and their families as well as occasionally, with some WWII authors
depending on the circumstances.
