From the Feb. 17, 2016, TRUNK SHOW: 1943-- July 1943. July 1943. Montgomery County, Maryland. "Bathers on the side of a pool at the Glen Echo amusement park." Esther Bubley, OWI.
Comment: Glen Echo was whites only until 1961.
FROM THE MARCH 13, 2016 SHORPY SERIOUS FUN: 1962-- July 1942, Klanmath Falls, Oregon. "At the sideshow of the circus." Russell Lee, OWI. Young couple staring intently at something with a ferris wheel and lighted ride in the background.
Obviously a circus or carnival of some sort.
Even with the war on, fun was still had.

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.
