The most telling and dramatic photographs of World War II were made by magazine photographers or under ±eir influence. Life ran a school for army photographers and sent its own photographers to the front: Eliot Elisofon was in North Africa; William Vandivert was in london photographers during the Blitz and in India; Margaret Bourke-White was in Italy and Russia; Eugene Smith was in the Pacific where, at the cost of serious injury, he produced some of the finest war photographs; Robert Capa—who was to die in combat in Indo-China—covered the invasion and knded with paratroopers. Captain Edward Steichen, U.S.N.R., served as Director of Navy Combat Photography; under his command were many photographers who had received their training on magazine assignments.
The bitter and disastrous Korean War was photographed by David Douglas Duncan. He concentrated on the troops, with close-ups of biting intensity that revealed the battle against not only the enemy but the cold. These photographs he published in 1951 in This is War!, a picture book with a short introduction but no captions. He later joined Life's staff. |
