For all,

Tonight is ABC television's special on WWII camermen called "Shooting War" for anyone who's interested.  It seems to be focused only on motion
picture cameramen and not still photographers, but should still be quite interesting.

SHOOTING WAR
Thursday, December 7, 9/8c

A two-hour documentary celebrating the motion picture combat cameramen who bravely served on the front lines of World War Two. Two-time Oscar winner
Tom Hanks hosts the special, which draws on over 600 hours of rare -- and in many cases never-before-seen -- archival footage. "Shooting War" traces
their story from Pearl Harbor to the war's aftermath in devastated Nagasaki.

Enjoy it,
