American Heroism

[Joopster55]

American heroism not so rare.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

GREAT FILM!!!!!

 

 

 

 

 

This is 16mm color (not "colorized") footage, that you may not have seen, of carrier

 

 

 

 

 

action in the Pacific.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

There wasn't much color shot in the '40s - extremely expensive then, with a complicated

 

 

 

 

 

and exacting processing process. Enjoy...

The Pacific war was largely fought by Americans. That is where you really proved yourselves. The European war was fought by many countries, all who fought with valor. The Pacific war was far from Europe and the only help you had was from Australians, New Zealanders, Canadians and British. Their resources were depleted after years of war in Europe. It fell upon the Americans to take on the Japanese and you did a heroic job.
