Faces of War: The Untold Story of Edward Steichen's WWII Photographers [With DVD]

by Mark D Faram

Faces of War: The Untold Story of Edward Steichen's WWII Photographers [With DVD] Cover

 

Synopses & Reviews

Publisher Comments:

A visually stunning collection that brings the soldiers' experience to vivid photographic life- includes a DVD.

The Aviation Photographic Unit was a military unit unlike any other in World War II. Founded and led by legendary photographer Edward Steichen, the photographers in this unit gave Americans on the home front memorable and dramatic images of the people fighting the Navy's battles in the Pacific theater. Beginning with just half a dozen intrepid shutterbugs and expanding to ten battle-seasoned photographers, the unit covered everything from early aircraft raids to amphibious landings to the surrender in Tokyo Bay. With an estimated 14,000 images in the collection of the National Archives, the work of this talented photographic unit is historically significant not only as a visual record of the war, but also for its influence on generations of postwar photographers. Faces of War is a tribute to the vision of Edward Steichen, as well as the men who served under him, and most importantly to their subjects-the unsung heroes of the U.S. Navy. Steichen's unit included such well-known photographers as:

LCdr. Horace Bristol

Lt. Barrett Gallagher

LCdr. Charles Fenno Jacobs

Lt. Victor Jorgensen

LCdr. Charles Kerlee

LCdr. Dwight S. Long

Lt. Wayne Miller

Synopsis:
