USA. An 8 x 10 original photograph of the Pearl Harbor Attack Dec. 7 1941 and six signatures of the survivors. Price includes VAT The attack on Pearl Harbor occurred on December 7 1941 when the Japanese military launched a surprise assault on the U.S. naval base in Hawaii. Over 350 Japanese aircraft targeted battleships airfields and other installations sinking or damaging 18 ships including eight battleships and destroying nearly 200 aircraft. The attack killed over 2400 Americans and injured about 1000 more. This event led to the United States formally entering World War II as President Franklin D. Roosevelt declared it "a date which will live in infamy." The attack shifted global power dynamics with the U.S. joining the Allies against the Axis powers. unknown
1942. African American MilitaryWWIIPearl Harbor Navy Department News Bulletin and Press Release documents a pivotal wartime record of shifting racial attitudes in the United States Navy distinguished by its formal acknowledgment of Doris "Dorie" Miller's heroism at Pearl Harbor. Issued between April 3 and April 7 1942 the documents announce that the Navy would begin accepting "Negro volunteers for general service" beyond the restrictive Messman Branch marking a significant institutional response to mounting public pressure for racial equality in the U.S. Armed Forces. The bulletin prominently recounts Dorie Miller's actions during the December 7 1941 attack when he manned a machine gun under fire despite not being formally trained for combat duty. Between this expansion of Black enlistment and official commendation of Miller's bravery the publications capture a moment when African American military service and sacrifice forced a public confrontation with the Navy's segregationist structure.<br /> <br /> Navy Department. Navy News Bulletin. Washington D.C.: Office of Public Relations Analysis Section April 3-7 1942. Together with: Navy Department. "Navy to Accept Negroes for General Service." Washington D.C. April 7 1942. Two mimeographed typescripts. Navy News Bulletin is nine pages approximately 14 x 8½ inches with contemporary handwritten annotations in ink and red marker; press briefing measures approximately 10½ x 8 inches. On page four of the buletin Secretary of the Navy Frank Knox is quoted commending the "22-year-old Texan" for "distinguished devotion to duty extraordinary courage and disregard of his own personal safety" noting that Miller "protected a machine gun until ordered to leave that bridge." The bulletin further acknowledges that more than three months elapsed before Miller's identity became public underscoring the Navy's initial reluctance to spotlight Black heroism. The press release states that "the same physical and mental entrance standards required of all Navy personnel is to be required of Negroes" assigning enlistees to District craft Navy Yards and construction units building bases beyond the continental United States while continuing recruitment for the Messman Branch.<br /> <br /> The significance of Miller's inclusion in this report cannot be overstated: his public recognition became a rallying point for African American newspapers and civil rights advocates demanding equitable treatment and expanded combat roles for Black servicemen. Issued only four months after Pearl Harbor and at the outset of expanded mobilization these documents illustrate the Navy's cautious but progressing racial policy under the pressures of domestic civil rights activism. Light creasing handling wear and minor corner dog-ears; annotations remain clear and text fully legible. Overall condition very good. Two consequential Navy records linking Black war hero Dorie Miller's celebrated act of valor to the early wartime transformation of Black naval service. unknown
