These were likely posted on the OT in the past. At least the two women delivering ice, the Japanese archers and I think think some of the Civil War.

I have never seen the following image colorized, only in grayscale. Caption from WWII Database:

I can't fathom how loud that has to be inside that turret when one of those 15" guns go off.

It never ceases to amaze me how moments of such beauty can be captured during such horrible times

I thought so given the age of the article and numerous threads

I would be interested in the story behind that catalina in the ice. Gear down and all.

I found this:
US Navy personnel freeing a PBY-5A ‘Catalina’ aircraft from frozen waters in the Aleutian Islands at Kodiak Bay, US Territory of Alaska, sometime during the period between June 1942 and January 1943.
