David Douglas Duncan, 102, Who Photographed the Reality of War, Dies
David Douglas Duncan passed away at the age of 102 this week, on June 7th. In my opinion, the greatest war correspondent of all time. His book "This is War" captures the Korean War like no other.
David Douglas Duncan was also a very important person to the Japanese camera industry: his use of Nikon lenses after World War II introduced the Japanese photographic industry to the rest of the world.

The Marine Museum at Quantico, VA has a display of DDD's pictures taken in Korea. Well worth the visit if you are in the area.
