1944 W-O Assembly Plant Nurse w/Pills on eBay

• CATEGORIES: Features, Old Images, Women & Jeeps This site contains affiliate links for which I may be compensated.

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.

Radio Jeep at an Airfield in England Circa 1944

• CATEGORIES: Features, Old Images This site contains affiliate links for which I may be compensated.

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….”

Bob spotted this photo of a FC-170 built for airports. It’s caption read “New for 1957”. Like the CJ-5 and Jeep Truck airport vehicles, this likely had dual tanks, possibly for water, de-ice or refuse. Here are more examples at the CJ-3B page: http://cj3b.info/Literature/AircraftSupport.html
