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.

Help Wanted: Making Airplanes in DeKalb, Illinois, in 1945


From the April 15, 2020, MidWeek  "Looking Back."

1945, 75 Years Ago.

"PART TIME AND FULL TIME WORKERS WANTED IMMEDIATELY:

"Help an urgent war need and help yourself!  Whether or not you have ever had factory experience makes no difference.

"Here's your opportunity to to participate in the thrills of building aircraft and its components.  Even if you can just spend 4-5 fours a day let us have your name.

"Every man hour will help us keep ahead  of schedule.

"The Rudolph Wurlitzer Company."

I certainly was not aware of airplanes of any shape being made in DeKalb County during the war.
