EDITORS COMMENTS
In this evocative black-and-white photograph, Annette del Sur, a vibrant and charismatic figure, stands amidst the sprawling Douglas Aircraft Company yard in Long Beach, California, in October 1942. Surrounded by piles of scrap metal and the backdrop of aircraft parts, Annette is seen urging the workers to contribute to the salvage campaign. During World War II, the United States government launched a nationwide effort to collect scrap metal to support the war effort. The Douglas Aircraft Company, a leading manufacturer of military aircraft, joined the cause by organizing a salvage campaign within its facilities. Annette del Sur, a popular local figure and entertainer, was enlisted to help boost morale and encourage employees to participate. Annette's playful approach to the campaign is evident in her stylish outfit, complete with a feathered hat and a string of jewelry made from scrap metal. Her infectious smile and animated gestures capture the attention of the workers, making the campaign an amusing and engaging experience. The yard of the Douglas Aircraft Company, filled with the hum of machinery and the sounds of aircraft being built, provides a stark contrast to the colorful and whimsical scene unfolding before us. The image is a poignant reminder of the unique blend of determination, creativity, and resilience that characterized America's response to the challenges of the war. This photograph, with its timeless appeal and historical significance, offers a fascinating glimpse into the past and the role that ordinary people played in the larger narrative of World War II. Annette del Sur's spirited efforts to publicize the salvage campaign in the yard of the Douglas Aircraft Company in Long Beach, California, serve as a testament to the power of community engagement and the enduring spirit of the American people.
