Cool picture. How was it taken? Was there an onboard camera taking regular shots or did someone just happen to snap that?

Pieces of the aircraft became popular souvenirs for the crew of the Missouri.
My Great-Uncle was a S1c on the Missouri during that time, and was on board during the surrender ceremony. |
