The ppt file linked to on Wiki is very interesting on how they got the oil out of the wreck. < 5 gallons released.

I think these guys are charging outrageous prices for their films, but the previews are free. This is a flyover of Ulithi while the 3rd fleet was at anchor:

Especially since the films they are showing are in the Public Domain as US Government films.

I found some footage my father's unit shot on Attu on their site. My father was able to identify some footage he shot and spotted some names he remembered. I'm not paying their prices for the footage though.
