1944 W-O Assembly Plant Nurse w/Pills on eBay
Marc found this interesting photo. The caption explains that a nurse is handing out a pill to help prevent colds. Anyone know what the pills might be?
The information reads: FATAL TO FLU — A pill a day keeps the flu away! That’s the theory behind a cold-prevention campaign now being carried on among workers at Willys-Overland Motors, where the use of special immunization tablets have reduce colds by 80 percent and checked absenteeism. Here, a plant nurse passes the tablets out among “Jeep” girls on the company’s assembly line.

Jeeps on a Float
Radio Jeep at an Airfield in England Circa 1944
Leo found this photo in the US National Archives. He writes, “I found this incredible picture of an airfield Jeep somewhere in England in WW2. I don’t see invasion stripes on the planes wings, so it must be while training before the invasion june ’44. The C47 Skytrain has its hook lowered and is about to hook on to the towline of the CG4 Waco glider in the front. The radio equipped Jeep is probably guiding the pilot of the C47. It must have been quite a ride to be snatched by a hurtling C47….”

New Zealand Stretcher Jeep from 1943
I didn’t start out to have an ambulance theme today, but here we go. This jeep was part of the New Zealand medical services in the MIddle East during WWII. I can’t remember seeing a rear modified in that manner.
Jeep Ambulance on Flickr
I’m not sure where this was taken, but it is so rare to find one of these jeep ambulances still around. If I have ever listed on for sale, I don’t remember it.
