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
