Some corporate tricksters
Reilly and Bullwinkel - if I had the time I would give credit to the photographers by searching and posting their names. They deserve credit. Some times I know - Cartier-Bresson's Paris boy carrying bottles as an example. I think a lot of people know that photo.
As Mikey says - I hope the act of showing their photographs is also an act of giving credit.

Dean this thread is about the most iconic photographs, not photographers. And a true artist would just want his image seen regardless if anyone knew who took it.
Kinda interesting how the majority of the images are in black and white. Maybe it is due to most of them being older or how a b&w still resonates so strongly with people. Or all the good current photography is getting buried by endless amounts of sh#t work.

Goerge Lawrence, "San Francisco In Ruins"
( high-res, interactive version of same shot: http://www.sfgate.com/maps/1906quake/ )
While there were airplanes in 1906, none of them were any good for what Lawrence was doing.
After nearly being killed while taking aerial photos from a balloon, Lawrence switched to kites.
It took 17 kites, all attached in series, to lift his camera 2,000 feet above San Francisco Bay.

Hiroshima
"In the immediate aftermath of the atomic bomb, the allied occupation authorities banned all mention of radiation poisoning and insisted that people had been killed or injured only by the bomb's blast. It was the first big lie. "No radioactivity in Hiroshima ruin" said the front page of the New York Times, a classic of disinformation and journalistic abdication, which the Australian reporter Wilfred Burchett put right with his scoop of the century. "I write this as a warning to the world," reported Burchett in the Daily Express, having reached Hiroshima after a perilous journey, the first correspondent to dare. He described hospital wards filled with people with no visible injuries but who were dying from what he called "an atomic plague". For telling this truth, his press accreditation was withdrawn, he was pilloried and smeared - and vindicated."

I was going to say, the only notable absence I could think of was the raising the flag on Mt. Suribachi (Iwo Jimo).
Other notable war related ones are:
1. Matthew Brady photographs of the Civil War
2. Landing at Omaha Beach, D-Day
3. A Life Magazine photo of three Americans on Papua New Guineau, Dead on the Beach 1943: http://digitaljournalist.org/issue0309/lm02.html
