Forgotten in the history of WWII is that there was essentially a second Pearl Harbor that occurred when the Japanese bombed the Philippines in December of 1941. Still reeling from the attack on December 7th, hockey star Bill Cowley sits in the locker room of the Boston Bruins, almost dressed for his game, and reads headlines of the Japanese attack on Manila. A thought provoking image that illustrates how the world was feeling at the time, this is a rare photo we have never seen before. The condition and quality are both outstanding and this is being offered here for the first time ever!
