Gallery: WWII API NEWS PHOTOS NAVY
Wartime wire-service prints and their reverse sides document the Battle of the Atlantic and Navy life at sea, from a torpedoed tanker towed into Morehead City to sailors resting at an anti-aircraft mount. Date stamps, rights notices, and grease-pencil edits on the versos reveal how news photographs traveled from the front to the printed page.
