1942 Important photograph of Admiral Chester Nimitz as he took command of the Pacific Fleet only two months after the attack on Pearl Harbor but was used here to announce that he had defeated the Japanese at Midway Island.

Issued by the Associated Press and stamped on the back with a full paper caption as well, this is an important piece of American history!
