Folded collar of the army uniform shows the pic was taken after 1938 with the rank of Warrant Officer.

America introduced to the Japanese people in early 1939.
A bookmobile in New York.
The time of cellophane. Americans love the cellophane for a transparent suitcase while Germans use it for a slope.

The first jet airliner in the world. Comet was second.
Airframes
Benevolens Magister
Nope.
This was a prototype only, and the Comet flew fIrst - OK, first by only two weeks, but still first, and the first in service.

Once again, failing memory. I "knew" the C.102 was first from my youth. Then Airfames has to correct me. Since I did not want to believe newer sources, this caused me to find my copy of "Jet Aircraft of the World, 1955" where I learned all this in my youth. There it was, just as Airframes said, D.H. Comet 27 Jul 49 and Avro C.102 10 AUG 49. I did learn why I was sure the C.102 was first, because the text said "first to fly on the American continent". I stand corrected again.
Good shots guys!

A Japanese engineer developed the world's first CRT type television set in 1926 but no one believed this 50 years ago.
I am glad Wikipedia describes this nowadays.
"Kenjiro Takayanagi was a Japanese engineer and a pioneer in the development of television. Although he failed to gain much recognition in the West, he built the world's first all-electronic television receiver and is referred to as "the father of Japanese television". "

Looking back my younger days, strange to me, my parents and school teachers taught me how life was during the wartime but how it was before the war. I now think that it would not have been so much different from the postwar life for them. I remember that they simply said "Peace came back".
Preparation for the experimental TV broadcasting goes on at NHK in April, 1939.

Flying sparks from Europe.
On January 21, 1940, in the face of Tokyo Bay, a Japanese passenger ship M/S Asama Maru from San Francisco was ordered to halt by a British warship HMS Liverpool for inspection suddenly as 51 German passengers were aboard. They were exiles of a sunken German passenger ship S/S Columbus from the east coast of America.
After inspection, 21 German passengers were identified as the possible military men and had been taken away to Hong Kong to be detained.
The Japanese government and public fiercely condemned this audacious action and requested UK to return all of them immediately.
After negotiation for a month, 9 of them were freed.
