Sorry you were taken in, Bobibutu. I recognized 4 pictures right away: The two of sailors with wrecked planes (these are from the Ford Island Naval air station), the one with the big explosion (next to last), and the final one of the wrecks in the drydock. The latter are USS Cassin and USS Downes, both destroyers. The other pictures are less common, and very interesting, but there is no reason to believe their provenance is any different: They were taken by navy photographers using professional equipment and have been carefully preserved in archives ever since.
