100 Hong Kong wartime aerial photos on display reveal WWII details in Kowloon


About 100 Hong Kong wartime aerial photos being exhibited for the first time reveal valuable details about the World War II air raids in Kowloon, similar to the one associated with a bomb recently unearthed in Quarry Bay, a historian has said.

Professor Kwong Chi-man, chair of Baptist University’s history department, said the aerial photo collection of the Kowloon Peninsula, taken between 1941 and 1945, was retrieved from the United States National Archives and Records Administration.
