PORT ANGELES — Lee Embree’s memories of shooting the first aerial photographs of the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor, Hawaii, which became the opening salvo in World War II, will be on video soon at the Museum of Flight in Seattle.
A group of high school students, working as volunteers in a museum apprentice program, interviewed Embree, 92, at his Port Angeles home on Saturday.
The filmed interview will be put on DVD or VHS within a month and be available for viewing at the museum at 9404 E. Marginal Way S. in Seattle, said Seth Margolis, the museum’s director of education programs.
Embree, an Army photographer, was aboard a B17 bomber during the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor on Dec. 7, 1941.
Several of the photos were published in Life magazine.
Embree’s camera, photos and other World II memorabilia were donated to the Museum of Flight in December and are on permanent display.
