From the Shorpy photograph site.
Someone could definitely make a great book on the home front in the United States using these photos.
JULY 10, 2014, SMOKE SIGNAL, 1943:-- March 1943 "Ash Fork, Arizona (vicinity). Passing an eastbound freight train on the Atchison, Topeka & Santa Fe Railroad between Winslow and Seligman, Arizona, Route 66. By Jack Delano, Office of War Information (OWI). Railroads played a huge role in movement in the U.S. during the war.
JULY 8, 2014, PLANE JANE:, 1942-- 1942 "Melbourne, Australia. Beaufort torpedo bomber final assembly plant, OWI. Planes were being made for the war in other Allied countries. The girl appeared to be doing a final inspection, but oddly enough, was wearing a fancy dress and high heel shoes, something I would not expect.
JUNE 30, 2014, MEET THE MUNTZES, 1943: Feb. 1943-- Moreno Valley, Colfax Co., New Mexico. Dinnertime at george Muntz's ranch, the 4th photo of the family in Shorpy. By John Collier, OWI. This one reminds me of the famed Norman Rockwell Thanksgiving painting.

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.
