I like the incredible story behind why this PBY Blister Gunner is nude. Horace Bristol recounted capturing his iconic image the day a Marine was shot down in Japanese-held Rabaul Harbor, in present-day Papua New Guinea: '…We got a call to pick up an airman who was down in the Bay. The Japanese were shooting at him from the island, and when they saw us they started shooting at us. The man who was shot down was temporarily blinded, so one of our crew stripped off his clothes and jumped in to bring him aboard. He couldn’t have swum very well wearing his boots and clothes. As soon as we could, we took off. We weren’t waiting around for anybody to put on formal clothes. We were being shot at and wanted to get the hell out of there. The naked man got back into his position at his gun in the blister of the plane.'

Many of these are clearly during wartime where the men had to shower, etc. without clothes with their buddies. But there are others, more intimate, that show what things were like before we all became obsessed with labels and two men together were thought nothing of.
