In the days after the attack on Pearl Harbor in 1941, anything seemed possible, especially an attack on our East Coast. In this poignant image we see soldiers loading bombs into planes in case that became the reality. Issued by the International News and stamped on the back with a full paper caption as well, this is a poignant reminder at how tense the atmosphere was in the early days of WWII.
