Description: An original, first-generation photograph from a stunning war photo collection compiled by friend of the USMC, Marion Fischer.Type & Size: A 4.5x3.5" original photograph.Condition: Good vintage condition. Front may have wrinkles or small tears from age. Please see photos for details. This particular set of photos were removed from a glued in album, and as such have remnants from that on the back including yellow coloring from glue and in some cases pieces of backing, which were kept there to protect the images. This photograph captures a dramatic scene from 1945, where a Japanese plane crashes into the sea near a U.S. warship during a battle in the China Seas. The image shows the chaos and intensity of naval warfare, with a massive explosion and the U.S. warship amidst the turbulent waters.During 1945, the China Seas were a significant theater of operations in the Pacific during World War II. The Allied forces, including the United States, were engaged in intense naval battles against the Japanese Empire. The warship in the photo could be part of a larger fleet involved in critical operations leading up to the end of World War II.The caption on the back of the photo reads: "Japanese plane crashes in sea near U.S. Warship China Seas battle 1945." No names of individuals are identifiable.- - - This photograph originates from a massive Type 1 photo collection compiled by Mrs Marion Fischer. It contained over 500 mostly Navy & USMC press and personal photos spanning from Pearl Harbor through the Korean War. A number of these photos appear to have never been published. During World War II Marion Fischer worked with the Emergency Aid of Pennsylvania. On her own, she started a project to provide kits for Marines. She wrote to her friends as well as celebrities to appeal for money for these kits that held toilet articles, writing paper, and a picture frame. Once the war ended, Mrs. Fischer found herself with the beginnings of a collection of letters from military officials. She again started writing letters to Marine Corps officers asking for items she could add to her collection. She mainly received photographs and biographical notes. Later, she was able to obtain war souvenirs. She displayed this collection in her home and opened it up to Marines wanting to view the holdings. Much of her collection is now part of the USMC archives referenced as Coll/858. Other parts of it, such as this photo collection, were sold by her estate. Many of the photos in this collection were sent in to her by an incredible list of high ranking personnel including fleet Admiral Nimitz, Rear Admiral James Fife, and scores of others.
