Rare Photos From The History Books You Have to See to Believe
The invention of the camera and of photography, in general, changed the way we see history forever. In centuries past, history as we know it was recorded by the diarists, the writers, the painters and chroniclers who captured the great moments of their age. The everyday details of real life were lost between the cracks of time, and became unknowable mysteries, fleeting experiences which disappeared as soon as they occurred. Photography transformed everything: suddenly, we have those moments in time captured on film, and we are able to return to them again and again, and gaze in wonder at the happenings of many years ago.
Let’s step into a time machine of imagery, and take a look at an amazing collection of the rare photos you’d never come across in your history books!
1. A WWII Stunner
This incredibly beautiful woman was photographed during WWII (although the exact date is not known) wearing a uniform and sat on the wing of a VMTB-234 aircraft. Nobody really knows who she was, but her stunning beauty looks utterly timeless and strangely modern – she could appear in a magazine today, and people would still surely swoon!
Her sullen look, wild blonde hair and attractive uniform surely gave the airmen a thrill when this photograph was released. Such stunts were fairly commonplace in WWII, and photos were shared among soldiers to raise morale.
