STORED IN AN OLD BROWNIE CAMERA
SCROLL DOWN
Isn't is amazing how a film could last so long in a
camera without disintegrating?
Fantastic photos taken 68 years ago. Some of you will have
to go to a museum to see what a Brownie camera looked like?
Here is a simple picture of what we are talking about. . .
These photos are absolutely incredible....Read below the
first picture and at the end...
PHOTOS STORED IN AN OLD BROWNIE CAMERA
Thought you might find these photos very interesting; what
quality from 1941.
Pearl Harbor photos found in an old Brownie stored in a
foot locker.
And just recently
Taken to be developed.
THESE PHOTOS ARE FROM A SAILOR WHO WAS ON THE USS
QUAPAW ATF-11O.
THEY ARE
SPECTACULAR!
PEARL HARBOR
December 7th, 1941
Pearl Harbor
On Sunday, December 7th, 1941 the Japanese launched
a surprise attack against the
U.S. Forces stationed at Pearl Harbor , Hawaii By
planning this attack on a Sunday,
the Japanese commander Admiral Nagumo, hoped to
catch the entire fleet in port.
As luck would have it, the Aircraft Carriers and one
of the Battleships were not in port.
(The USS Enterprise was returning from Wake Island
, where it had just delivered some
aircraft. The USS Lexington was ferrying aircraft to
Midway, and the USS Saratoga and
USS Colorado were undergoing repairs in the United
States )
In spite of the latest intelligence reports about
the missing aircraft carriers (his most
important targets), Admiral Nagumo decided to
continue the attack with his force of
six carriers and 423 aircraft. At a range of 230
miles north of Oahu , he launched the
first wave of a two-wave attack. Beginning at 0600
hours his first wave consisted of 183
fighters and torpedo bombers which struck at the
fleet in Pearl Harbor and the airfields
in Hickam, Kaneohe and Ewa. The second strike,
launched at 0715 hours, consisted of
167 aircraft, which again struck at the same
targets.
At 0753 hours the first wave consisting of 40
Nakajima B5N2 'Kate' torpedo bombers,
51 Aichi D3A1 'Val' dive bombers, 50 high altitude
bombers and 43 Zeros struck airfields
and Pearl Harbor . Within the next hour, the second
wave arrived and continued the attack.
When it was over, the U.S. Losses were:

| Subject: | Nauga Field Fly-Around - December 4, 5, 6 |
Just a friendly reminder:
THIRD ANNUAL NAUGA FIELD FLY-AROUND
The dates for this years event will be December 4th, 5th, and 6th (first weekend
in December). Come pass a good time.
Let me know if you are planning on attending. Need to know how much groceries
to plan for. Also, if you are interested in the infamous "Nauga t-shirt", need
a shirt size. Will need to place that order in advance. Sorry, must be present
score a T-shirt.
Folks planning on attending so far:
John H
Gary H
Jimmy Y
Mike and Jan M (maybe)
Frank G (maybe)
The cooler weather will help the cooks mood and the planes will fly better. Camping
and sitting around a fire at night will be possible too.
I dont know when you snowbirds start your migration south, but it will be great
if you want to pass this way.
Nauga Field (LS35) is located ~ 15 nm north of Baton Rouge, LA in the wonderful
community of Starhill, LA.
http://www.airnav.com/airport/LS35
FAA Identifier: LS35
Lat/Long: 30-45-45.1000N / 091-16-38.1000W
30-45.751667N / 091-16.635000W
30.7625278 / -91.2772500 (estimated)
Elevation: 38 ft. / 12 m (estimated)
>From city: 5 miles E of ST FRANCISVILLE, LA
Nauga Field is a short grass strip with obstacles (trees) at both ends. Kolbs can
handle this fine, but not much else. If you are not proficient at short field
landings over obstacles, then Nauga Field will be very intimidating. The
runway is 1550 ft tree line to tree line. Thresholds are displaced 450 ft from
both ends (state requirement). You can use what you can get down to. Two person
operation is not recommended, especially with fuel and gear. If you plan
on flying in and are not used to short grass strips, please practice or don't
fly in for your safety and ours.

Thanks too much,

I know many pilots and a few true aviators. There is a distinct difference that
I have the greatest respect for.

Brother Nelson:
1. This is a well known 2006 e-mail hoax...
see:http://www.snopes.com/photos/military/pearlharbor.asp
2. Not particularly "enjoyable" to marvel over pictures of 2,300
American military in the process of dying.
3. Cannot think of any possible link between this subject and building
or flying Kolb airplanes.
...just a few random thoughts... worth what ye paid fer 'em...

Joe,
With winter coming on , I have been trying to build a full windscreen
for my Firestar 2.
I think your design is cleaner , simpler & better looking than
anything I came up with.
Seems like whatever needs to be done , someone on the list has helpful
information.
I have copied at least 3 things from Larry c. and received good advice
from several other
members, and now I,ll copy your windscreen, dosen,t do much for my ego
but if a better
idea comes along , beats trying to reinvent the wheel. Looks as if you
did a great job on your
a/c thanks for the pictures.
