1943WRCAM55582Hawaii 1943. 240 photographs including twenty-seven photo postcards measuring 2 1/2 x 3 1/2 to 8 x 10 inches the majority 2 3/4 x 4 1/2 inches corner- mounted; one certificate. Oblong folio. Textured brown cloth with gilt stamps of American eagle with shield and palm trees on front board "Aloha Hawaii" stamped in black brown cord binding. Presentation inscription on first leaf. Some wear to extremities front hinge just starting to crack. A few photos mildly rumpled but overall extremely well-preserved. Very good. An engaging album depicting an eerily peaceful Hawaii in the days leading up to and during the American participation in World War II in the Pacific. Prepared by Charles Ryan for Viola Suhar inscribed to her and with her address written beneath the Trader Vic's certificate the album begins with Ryan's "Trading License" from Trader Vic's in Honolulu dated October 21 1943. It then proceeds directly to twenty photos of planes at "Hickem" i.e. Hickam Field in Honolulu the principal Army Air Force base in Hawaii during the war. These photos were likely taken before the attack on Pearl Harbor as Hickam sustained substantial damage during that attack. Then follows numerous tourist photos of Hawaii many annotated with location. Included are several photos of "hula girls" surfers shots of downtown Honolulu beaches mountains and landmarks such as Lau Yee Chai Chinese restaurant the Chamberlain House Ka Hale Kamalani Iolani Palace Waikiki Beach and the Aloha Tower. In the midst of this are nine uncaptioned photos apparent reproductions of ships under attack and one of sailors escorting caskets. <br> <br> Also included are several photos including one handcolored image of sailors relaxing on the beach at Camp Andrews and at "The Breakers" the Navy beach club in Waikiki; sailors at work and doing laundry; and then two sets of photos one set enlarged of a particular sailor with one of him on a motorcycle and the second with his shirt open and tattoos visible which are presumably of Charles Ryan. Finally there are nine photos of the Church of Latter Day Saints Temple in Laie outside of Honolulu including a large 8 x 10 inches image of the entire site. It seems unlikely that Ryan was a Mormon considering the tattoos and the visit to Trader Vic's so perhaps this was simply part of his travels throughout Hawaii. Ryan was almost certainly in the military most likely the Navy but we could not find conclusive evidence of his service. Viola Suhar was a teacher in Perth Amboy New Jersey and likely Charles' sweetheart we did find a Viola Ryan working as a teacher in Perth Amboy in the 1950s. <br> <br> A carefully-assembled view of a calm Hawaii against the backdrop of war. hardcover books

Dredges included the “Tualatin†moved to Midway in May 1944 the USS City of Dahlart at Pearl Harbor Dredge Indiana at Midway.

Oblong octavo photograph album paper-covered boards string-bound. Front cover detached covers and spine chipped. Some album pages chipped but photographs remain largely untouched. Very good. An absorbing collection of photographs capturing American military life in Hawaii during the first half of the 20th century with the great majority of the photographs captioned in ink on the album pages. The unnamed photographer and compiler of the photographs apparently served at the Schofield Barracks in Honolulu as he includes several photographs of the base including the "Boxing Bowl." He also records other notable locations around Honolulu including the Waipahu Sugar Mill the Kilaeua Crater Japanese Temple the Mid-Pacific Railway wreck Kapiolani Park the Honolulu railway station Sand Island the naval destroyer JEANNE D'ARC Sampans Haleiwa Bay the Monoa Hotel the Waipahi Sugar Mill Diamondhead and Kahala Bay Waikiki Beach several shots of volcanoes and lava formations and more. He even includes a shot of the pack mule he presumably used in his wanderings.

1947219701947. Japanese-American WWII Official yearbook of the 1947 graduating class at Punahou School in Honolulu Hawaiʻi which serves as a vivid document of postwar life in a multiracial student body that included a notable presence of Japanese American students. Bound in embossed dark blue leatherette. 8.5" x 11". Heavily illustrated. Published two years after the end of World War II this year's volume shows the continued presence and leadership of Nisei students despite the hardship faced in school years prior. With numerous signed messages by students-including Japanese American classmates such as W. Kobayashi G. Ogawa and H. Takakuwa-this volume provides rare evidence of social reintegration and interracial camaraderie in the wake of a war that saw Japanese Americans subjected to mass suspicion and surveillance across the United States. While Japanese Americans in Hawaiʻi were spared the large-scale incarceration endured by their mainland counterparts they still lived under martial law from 1941 to 1944. During this time thousands were dismissed from government jobs arrested without charge or pressured to prove loyalty-conditions that deeply affected the Nisei generation. Many of the students represented here likely had family members who served in the famed 100th Infantry Battalion or the 442nd Regimental Combat Team the most decorated unit in U.S. military history. Others may have experienced community surveillance loss of employment or restricted freedoms under Hawaiʻi's military government. In this context the 1947 Oahuan is not simply a yearbook-it is a document of recovery dignity and the quiet persistence of young Japanese Americans reclaiming space in public life through scholarship athletics and social visibility. This particular copy is especially notable for its extensive endpaper inscriptions with dozens of students having signed their names in ink making this a personalized artifact of postwar student life. The volume features photographs of senior portraits student clubs athletic teams and lively candid montages with Nisei students prominently and equitably featured. Sports team photos show a remarkable ethnic diversity with surnames like Kobayashi and Koneshige appearing beside those of white and Hawaiian students. The visual presentation echoes Hawaiʻi's unique multiracial culture and hints at the relative integration of elite schools like Punahou in contrast to the segregation typical of many mainland institutions during this era. Endpapers are completely filled with original signatures. Wear to covers with some cracking at interior hinge and one corner of the pastedown torn. Overall very good condition. A rare signed witness to Nisei perseverance in a racially stratified but uniquely hybrid territory on the cusp of statehood. unknown
1946219301946. Japanese-American WWII Official yearbook of the 1946 graduating class at Punahou School in Honolulu Hawaiʻi which serves as a vivid document of postwar life in a multiracial student body that included a notable presence of Japanese American students. Bound in embossed dark blue leatherette. 8.5" x 11". Heavily illustrated. Published just one year after the conclusion of World War II the yearbook offers a rare and humanizing portrait of Japanese American youth in a period when many of their families were still reeling from forced incarceration surveillance or military service. While Japanese Americans in Hawaiʻi were spared the large-scale incarceration endured by their mainland counterparts they still lived under martial law from 1941 to 1944. During this time thousands were dismissed from government jobs arrested without charge or pressured to prove loyalty-conditions that deeply affected the Nisei generation. Many of the students represented here likely had family members who served in the famed 100th Infantry Battalion or the 442nd Regimental Combat Team the most decorated unit in U.S. military history. Others may have experienced community surveillance loss of employment or restricted freedoms under Hawaiʻi's military government. In this context the 1947 Oahuan is not simply a yearbook-it is a document of recovery dignity and the quiet persistence of young Japanese Americans reclaiming space in public life through scholarship athletics and social visibility. This yearbook reflects a moment of restoration and resilience capturing a cohort of Nisei students reclaiming normalcy through education sports and extracurricular life in a territory that would not become a state for another thirteen years. The 1946 Oahuan features dozens of portrait photographs and detailed bios of Japanese American seniors-including Florence Takahashi Alice Asahina and Raymond Akana-who were active in campus life through clubs like Hui Eleu Ka Punahou and the Camera Club. The prominence of these students across social and athletic leadership roles demonstrates the partial reabsorption of Japanese Americans into Hawaiʻi's civic fabric even as anti-Japanese sentiment lingered nationally. Particularly striking is the equal treatment of Asian and white students a stark contrast to the segregated yearbooks of most mainland U.S. high schools at the time. The layout includes numerous posed group photos framed by Oʻahu's lush volcanic landscape a reminder of the local terrain that shaped these students' hybrid island identities. Minor toning and faint edgewear; overall very good condition. A poignant and timely artifact from a transitional moment in Japanese American history reflecting the endurance and reintegration of Nisei students in a society still reckoning with its wartime policies. unknown
