  1. Going by the B-24's(big belly babes,I call them. My dad gave direct blood to a US airman after one crashed on takeoff in the NT,think it got him to Sydney alive) in the background,this may be a war bonds shoot or similar?

    1. probably. The amount of motivation needed to get a Hollywood starlet dolled up for an outing among us heathens would likely be monumental, and the low dollar transpo, the scooter sidecar, shows she was certainly far from her usual Hollywood hang outs. The B 24s and the word Hanger on the side car, means she was at an airfield.... strange place for her to be

  2. Interesting photo. The scooter looks to be a Salsbury and the Lincoln Zephyr and the Fords are from 1942. Given the B-24s in the background I wonder if this wasn't taken at Willow Run...?
