Black and Whites


An Imperial Japanese Navy pilot ace in WW2 - I bear an uncanny resemblance to him

I love the old black and white photographs. The contrast is especially beguiling.

lol. the poor bugger got lost or shot down in the Pacific Ocean in 1943. They never found his body or the wreck. Won't it be incredible if it turns up at Pulau Aur?

Poor dude? Think I lack a lot of sympathy for the WW2 Japanese... I have sympathy for the poor buggers who were captured by them.

Well, not all of them were bad. Some of them were pretty decent.
