"The japanese photographer Susumu Tomomatsu found himself at the southern Chinese front between 1939 and 1940. He also accompanied Japanese troops in 1942 when they landed in Java, Indonesia. Shortly before the end of World War II, Tomomatsu was drafted into the military and sent to northeastern China. He was also held as a prisoner of war in Siberia." He died recently at 102 and his family "came across the albums containing the "classified" war photos." http://www.asahi.com/ajw/articles/AJ201811130076.html

The photos didn't age well, could use some restoration.

You can tell the photos were taken by a professional.

It looks like a U.S. B-17E is among the wrecked planes in photo 3. Rare image.

ETF -> RE: Unpublished Japanese wartime pictures (11/23/2018 10:06:46 PM)
not a B17D?

Thanks Skyland. I didn't know the Proctor. Everyday you can learn a new thing. [8D]
