From the March 31, 2017, Denver Post "Denver Pearl Harbor survivor Jim Doyle dies, leaving a legacy as a war hero and artist" by Monte Whaley.
"Jim Doyle captured some of the most enduring images of Pearl Harbor attack on film."
Died March 27, 2017.
He filmed the scene. Later, he came under fire again while flying as an aviation mate 1st Class in the Pacific Theater.
For his service, he received two Purple Hearts and a Distinguished Flying Cross, but rarely talked about his experiences.

My Cooter's History Blog has become about 80% World War II anyway, so I figured to start a blog specific to it, especially since we're commemorating its 70th anniversary and we are quickly losing this "Greatest Generation." The quote is taken from Pearl Harbor survivor Frank Curre, who was on the USS Tennessee that day. He died Dec. 7, 2011, seventy years to the day. His photo is below at right.
