My Cooter's History Blog has become about 80% World War II anyway, so I figured to start a blog specific to it, especially since we're commemorating its 70th anniversary and we are quickly losing this "Greatest Generation." The quote is taken from Pearl Harbor survivor Frank Curre, who was on the USS Tennessee that day. He died Dec. 7, 2011, seventy years to the day. His photo is below at right.

DeKalb's Interstate Aircraft and Engineering Corp. Gets $70,000 in 1944
From the March 13, 2019, MidWeek (DeKalb County, Illinois) "Looking Back."
1944, 75 Years Ago.
"Announcement was made today by the Defense Plant Corporation that a contract increase has been made to the Interstate Aircraft and Engineering Corporation.
"An increase of $70,000 has been awarded to provide additional facilities for the Interstate plant in DeKalb, bringing its commitment to $1,500,000."
