The USS North Carolina (BB-55) My all-time favorite warship. As an elementary school student in North Carolina, I donated nickels and dimes to save this ship back in the early sixties.

Shorpy War Photos-- Part 1: Bombers and Workers

From the Shorpy Photo site.

APRIL 16, 2014  "HATCHLINGS":  1942.  October 1942 "New  B-25 bombers lined up for final inspection and tests at North American Aviation plant in Kansas City, Kansas.  Alfred Palmer, OWI.

The reason we won the war.

APRIL 15, 2014, VENETIAN BLONDE:  1943.  June 1943.  Arlington County, Virginia.  "Arlington Farms, war duration residence halls.  A room at Idaho Hall."  By Esther Bubley, OWI.  The women are listening to a radio in front of Venetian blinds.

Arlington Farms house female office workers from Washington, D.C., during the war and reportedly was a popular destination for soldiers on leave.  I have written about it before.  Hit the label for Arlington Farms.
