A Woman's Point of View:
Margaret Bourke-White, who insisted on "utter truth" in her work, was the first female photographer allowed to fly on combat missions during World War II. She used the Keystone aerial camera at left (seen in this famous photo) on some of those missions. Bourke-White photographed world leaders, concentration camp survivors and even her own torpedoed ship. Before the war, in 1936, she took the photograph used on the cover of the first issue of Life magazine. |
