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 Home Front Photos: Zoots to Relax

Dec. 3, 20016  ZOOT ALORS: 1943.  July 1943.  Washington, D.C..  "Negro alley dwellings near Capitol."  Esther Bubley, OWI.  The picture shows slums, but the man is wearing a real nice, probably expensive Zoot Suit, probably one of the ugliest creations ever.

Ya Gotta See It To Believe It.

Dec. 4, 2016  CORNERMAN: 1943.  July 1943.  Greenville, South Carolina.  "Air Service Command.  Enlisted man of the 25th Service Group relaxing in his hutment."  Jack Delano, OWI.
