A friend sent me the file containing Photos recently developed from Pearl Harbour These were from a film that was in an old brownie camera. The pictures are quite spectacular. Unfortunately there is no link I can provide. If someone knows a link they should provide it. Barring that if no link is available and anyone is interested drop me an email at bobsgmc@mts.net and I will forward it.

Claim: Photographs show images of Pearl Harbor taken by a sailor in December 1941 and recently found in an old Brownie camera stored in a foot locker.

Status: Real photographs; inaccurate description

Actually, most (if not all) of those pictures were
official US Army and/or US Navy photography.

The resolution is too good to have been done with
a Brownie box camera and I don't think the old film
rolls for Brownies held but 8 pictures.

It's been a LONG time since I worked as helper in a
photo-finishing shop (late 1950s) in western NY state.
