EDITORS COMMENTS
The wreckage-strewn Naval Air Station, Pearl Harbour, 7th December 1941 This powerful print captures the devastating aftermath of the surprise attack on the US military facilities at Pearl Harbour. On that fateful morning of 7th December 1941, the Japanese Navy launched a relentless assault using bombers launched from aircraft carriers. The result was catastrophic. In this image, we witness the destruction and devastation caused by the bombing. Smoke billows into the sky as flames engulf buildings and planes. The once bustling airfield now lies in ruins, with debris scattered across its grounds. The impact of this attack was profound - four battleships were sunk while another four suffered severe damage. A total of 188 aircraft were destroyed, leaving behind an eerie silence where their engines once roared. Tragically, 2345 servicemen lost their lives alongside 57 civilians. President Roosevelt's words still echo through history as he denounced this act as a day that will live in infamy. In response to Japan's aggression, Congress declared war on them shortly after. This photograph serves as a haunting reminder of one of World War II's darkest moments and pays tribute to those who made sacrifices during this time of conflict.
