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.

Dekalb, Illinois World War II Naval Activities


While on the subject of the last post, I looked up the naval activities in DeKalb, Illinois, for the war. I went to college there (Northern Illinois University). DeKalb had Naval Cost Inspectors at Interstate Aircraft and Engineering Corporation and the Rudolph Wurlitzer Company (makers of pianos and organs).

There was also a Bureau of Aeronautics representative at Interstate Aircraft and Engineering.
