The forgotten photog at Pearl

December 7, 2013 photog blogs

al brick at pearlAl Brick of Fox Movietone News covering the immediate aftermath of the bombing of Pearl Harbor by the Japanese.

On the morning of December 7th, 1941, Brick was driving a friend back to the USS Arizona, aboard which the friend was stationed at.

Brick of course had his cameras in his car and what happened that day ended up being recorded for posterity.

His name may not be remembered among his modern news colleagues, but his iconic footage remains a part of the collective memories of the American people.
