A captured Japanese photograph taken aboard a Japanese carrier before the attack on Pearl Harbor, December 7, 1941. It shows the men raising their arms in salute with the silhouette of a plane and the Rising Sun flag. The propellor on the plane is turning, so this image was possibly taken as the planes were leaving in their famous and infamous mission.


As far as my research is able to ascertain, I believe this image to be a part of the public domain and free of any copyright restrictions. However if you are intending to use it commercially it is recommended to make sure that there are no restrictions for your use in your country.
