Norm Hatch served as a cameraman in the United States Marine Corps during WWII and filmed many important moments throughout the war including the Battles at Iwo Jima and Tarawa. His footage was used by the United States government as well as news organizations around the country. Many of his films were edited together in 1944 to create the documentary 'With the Marines at Tarawa' which won the Academy Award for Best Short Documentary.
He signed the photo I sent him and returned it to me in my SASE in 22 days. I also received a letter from his son accompanying the photo.
