Great sharp clear photos from WW II. Check out the clothes, hair styles.

Just interesting photos.

Back in the mid '70s someone was working at Hellers Camera in Bethesda MD and had a reference book with a color photo of the battleship Pennsylvania out in the Pacific, around 1944. The quality of the photo made it clear that it was shot with a large format camera, which is puzzling since most didn’t think Kodachrome (the only modern color film of time in the US ) was available in sheet films. An old Kodak hand (and WWII vet and radioman in Europe) revealed that they did have sheet Kodachrome, and that there was only one machine to process the film, located in Rochester .

ever notice how much smaller(thinner)people were back in the day.

I still prefer film to digital. But its a dieing breed.

Great pics for sure. Couple of things to also point out in the pictures.
Women built most of the equipment used by American Troops during the war.
Quality Control was born in WWII in the US. It amazes me that people today think it was born in Japan, and are still trying to resist following quality processes and procedures. America sent Deming and others to Japan to teach them about how to produce quality products. The Japanese learned it from the Americans.

Notice the dugout home? Cardboard walls. Back in those days it was cash only for a home. There was no government entitlement program.
