WWII In Color

StumbleUpon Toolbar | No Comments
Something is always a bit odd about seeing accurate color photos of WWII.  I know Kodachrome was invented in 1935, but in my mind WWII is a black-and-white war.  The Atlantic, as part of their 20-week retrospective on WWII in photography has tracked down some unusual color shots of the early war.

There are plenty more pictures in the original article, or go direct to the source, the OWI collection at the Library of Congress
