I was off in the distance taking pictures of other things when I scanned the area and saw this photographer and the lovely young lady. I was trying to be as inconspicuous as possible.... but DOH !! she saw me. Oddly enough she did not point me out. I could see he was trying to get her to look at his camera but she kept looking at my camera. I didn't stick around long at all. I took about 10 shots in a few seconds and moved out of view.

The Fort MacArthur Museum is proud to present what has become one of our most popular signature events. The Great Los Angeles Air Raid of 1942 is the museums celebration of one of the most fascinating and controversial events in Los Angeles History. A night when literally thousands of people both Military and Civilian were convinced that Los Angeles was being attacked from the air, and even from space!!! What really happened that night is a debate that will probably go on for years, but for those of us it's a time to remember the feeling of those early days of the World War II.
