WOW... now thats a model i would really want to have. Its gorgeous and horrific in the same time .This B-24 was a workhorse at the NASA Glenn Research Center from late 1945 to 1949. It was used to study ice build-up and methods of combating it. Over four years, virtually every part of the aircraft was studied and given some form of ice protection. It was also used to investigate ice build-up on jet engines. Here it is fitted with a Westinghouse 24C turbojet under its right wing for this very purpose.

Great post!Naomi Parker Fraley was ar American war worker during the Second World War. She worked worker on aircraft assembly She was photographed in 1942 using a machine tool at the Naval Air Station Alameda. The picture was published in the local press, including the Pittsburgh Press. The following year, the iconic propaganda poster of "We Can Do lt!" started appearing in factories to campaign for worker morale. It is now considered that Naomi Parker Fraley is the most ikely model (known as "Rosie the Riveter") for the "We Can Do lt!" poster. The subject of the poster has previously been assumed to be of Geraldine Hogg Doyle, and only in 2011 did Naomi Parker Fraley notice the mistake and corrected it. She passed away in 2018, at the age of 96.

The caption made me think of S.S. Lurline and the other Matson liners.U.S. Navy battleship USS California (BB-44), Norfolk, Virginia, 16 April 1939. "Under sailing orders." Members of the crew
of the California (BB-44) are drawn up on the deck of the vessel shortly after receipt of the surprise order yesterday for an
immediate return of the Fleet to the Pacific.

My math says she would've been between 19 and 21 years of age at the time the picture was taken.Naomi Parker Fraley was ar American war worker during the Second World War.
