Neil Armstrong and Edwin 'Buzz' Aldrin become the first humans to land on another celestial body. (July, 1969)

The [_Commodore Vanderbilt_] was a streamlined version of the venerable Class J1-E 4-6-4 Hudson locomotive that ran on the New York Central System.

The first of its kind to be modified for streamlining on the New York Central, it was christened in 1934 and pulled the [_Empire State Express_] for the duration of its career. Two more locomotives were streamlined in its pattern, designed by Karl F. Cantola. Later streamlined engines on the system would take after the pattern designed by Henry Dreyfuss.

Sadly, none of the Hudsons survive today. All were scrapped by 1954

US Flamethrower Team, Iwo Jima, 1945

Marines torch a Japanese defensive in Iwo Jima’s Mount Suribachi by using flamethrowers in 1945. These military tools were an effective weapon for burning out entrenched fighters who would have otherwise continued to fight, costing more lives. Pictured are Pvt. Richard Klatt and PFC Wilfred Voegeli.

Last Photos of Czeslawa Kwoka, aged 14, Auschwitz-Birkenau, 1940's

From the article both these images came from:

"But the most haunting picture shows another child, 14-year-old Czeslawa Kwoka, who was murdered at Auschwitz. It was, Amaral says, one of the most difficult pictures she’s worked on. “It’s very powerful in black and white, but in colour you can see that her lips are bleeding. She had just been beaten by a guard. You can really see the fear in her eyes, but you can also feel her courage. Colour allows us to understand the reality in a much deeper sense.”

The photograph of Czeslawa Kwoka is also part of a special project Amaral is involved in, Faces Of Auschwitz, a collaboration with the Auschwitz-Birkenau Memorial and Museum, for which she is colourising registration photographs from the museum’s archive. It’s the hardest work she has done, she says: “But I think it’s also necessary. They send me the pictures but also the documents, so I have to spend hours looking at their faces, knowing that, after the photo was taken, they were murdered. I need to have that feeling, otherwise I will be transformed into a machine and the whole purpose will be lost.”

Operation Torch, French North Africa, 1942

F--- guys, that kid in the centre of the picture can't be much older than my little step-brother. Someone who isn't old enough to legally drink alcohol or vote, shouldn't be fighting a war.

Anyway, context time since this one is a bit more niche than the others. This photo was taken during <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Operation_Torch#:~:text=Operation%20Torch%20(8%20November%201942,they%20might%20support%20the%20Allies.">Operation Torch</a> which was a combined Anglo-American operation which saw them battling the <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vichy_France">Vichy French</a> for control of French North Africa.

Although it was initially hoped that the French would surrender without a fight, due to a strong Free French Presence in the region, the invasion force soon came under fire from snipers and coastal artillery batteries. The resulting campaign lasted from 8 November 1942 – 13 May 1943 and resulted in about 2000 casualties for each side.

Flight of the Kitty Hawk, 1902

I have to say, I'm really impressed with what people can do with these old photos. It's almost like a time traveller brought a camera back with them to the past and took the shot themselves.

Ethnic German Refugees evicted from Lodz, Poland, 1945

Ethnic German refugees huddling in blankets - the only survivors of an original 150 Polish people who walked from Lodz in Poland to Berlin hoping to find food and shelter. They are waiting by a railway track hoping to be picked up by a British army train. Ethnic German refugees converged on war-torn Germany by the millions after the end of WW2. Of this group of originally 150 people only 10 reached Berlin.

Viet Cong Field Hospital, Vietnam War (Second-Indochina War)

Võ An Khánh was born in 1936, in the village of Ninh Quới in Hồng Dân District, Bạc Liêu Province, south-western Vietnam. During the 1960s and early 1970s, he traveled with a guerrilla unit to document the front line of the Vietnamese resistance against the U.S. in the Cà Mau region. He also managed the Photography Department of the local revolutionary cause and documented events related to frontline music and dance events. Between the years 1962 and 1975, Võ An Khánh staged a photographic exhibition in the exceptionally challenging condition of mangrove forests. His two well-known photographs, ‘Mobile Military Medical Clinic’ and ‘Extra-curriculum Political Science Class,’ were included in this traveling show, which Võ An Khánh himself developed on the spot using natural light.

Võ An Khánh’s photographs have been included in the exhibition “Another Vietnam: Pictures of the War from the Other Side” in 2002 (co-organized by the International Centre for Photography, New York) and various other international and local exhibitions and publications.
