WW2 1944 USS Callaway personnel aboard transport PA35-17 RARE Tom Shafer Photo

Description: This photo is from the private collection of famed war photographer Tom Shafer from his time serving aboard the USS Callaway during World War II. The Callaway was an attack transport that was involved in many of the most notable US war operations. This original Type 1 photograph is exceptionally rare, and there is a good chance that it is one of a kind. Type & Size: A 8x10 original photograph. Condition: Good to excellent condition for the age. The photograph depicts a moment aboard the USS Callaway during World War II, specifically in 1944. The image features several personnel interacting on the ship's deck, highlighting the operational environment and heavy machinery typical of an attack transport. The scene suggests a busy atmosphere, with soldiers engaged in various tasks while the ship is positioned for its next operation. The USS Callaway was an attack transport ship crucial for amphibious operations in the Pacific Theater during WWII. It played a significant role in transporting troops and supplies, facilitating landings on hostile shores, and ensuring logistical support during major offensives. With its involvement in several key missions, the Callaway became a symbol of military resilience and strategic planning, contributing to the Allied efforts in securing victory. The visible text in the photograph shows the identification number "A35-17," indicative of the ship's designation in naval operations. There is also a chance the image bears notations like "TOM SHAFER 44," which is a common inscription from the photographer, representing the year it was taken.
