    WW2 pictures I scanned at the Naval Aviation Museum today..

    Today's task at the museum was scanning some WW2 pictures from a kamikaze attack on the USS Manila (CVE-61). These are just a few of them. Pictured also is the USS Frank (DD 584). I also scanned some really interesting pictures donated by a former Japanese pilot, who had been captured. The pictures are of some kamikaze pilots who participated in the attack on the Manila. I didn't make copies of those, but can. Very interesting stuff, I think! NC

    Don't think that is the reason. The problem was posted about recently, but can't recall the solution.

    I will post the pictures again in a while. NC

    I will make a note to check on it. I think you mean "Leyte Gulf"? I am at the museum (for now, anyway) just once a week, on Tuesdays. NC
