Military cameramen have provided the world with enduring and powerful images from World War II to the present. Combat cameramen, of all branches of America's armed services, frequently armed only with cameras, risk their lives to be America's front line winesses to the horrors and heroism of war.They are unsung heroes who serve alongside the Marines, Army, Army Air Forces, and Navy, in trenches and jungles, in fighter planes and bombers, aboard destroyers and aircraft carriers to capture the war's visual essence. Often they are among the first to enter battle in the most dangerous places and under the heaviest fire to record history's most memorable images.Since the early 1940s they have used artistic flair and technical expertise to take the best possible pictures for posterity. Combat cameramen profoundly understand that they are responsible for compiling a historical record of Americans at war which otherwise would be lost.
