US Combat Photographer "Back Light" A custom Lego military minifigure model created by Brick Brigade. Comes with custom pad printed torso assembly, 2 side packs, Lego movie camera with film, and a SLR camera with lens (cameras don't really work). The design of each minifig is carefully researched and designed, using a variety of Lego and custom lego parts to create a unique look for each of the minifigures.
The Second World War was the first war in history to have been extensively recorded by the media. As the people who made and captured this history, themselves fade into memory, these images bare testiment to WW2.
Historians the world over owe a debt of gratitude to the bravery of the Combat Cameraman; without whom there would be no images to study.
As Joseph Longo, founder of the International Combat Camera Association, said: "The brave ones shot bullets; the crazy ones were shooting film"
The role of the Combat Cameraman
Combat Cameramen served in all the services, with differing roles.
Airforce photographers flew with bombing missions, often having another role in the crew. Their pictures not only giving us an insight into a war at 30,000 feet, but being used to assess battle damage. Navy photographers served on the fleet and also had a 'day-job' as well as their photographic duties.
Combat Cameramen recorded their images for several reasons.
The people 'back home' had to be informed of what their 'boys' were doing overseas, and news from 'the front' was invaluable in selling War Bonds. Combat footage was used not only by the new agencies, but for training purposes.
Indeed; slow motion movie footage has been acredited with changing the way US paratroopers were taught to land, which drastically reduced the amount of injuries.
(see custom Lego military soldier minifigures in minifig soldiers section). Lego head style, and custom Lego Equipment and custom Lego Weapon type and color may vary.
