Фоторепортаж из 1942 года. Авиабаза в Техасе

Кадры были сделаны на авиабазе ВМС США Корпус-Кристи фотографом Говардом Р. Холлеммом, который работал в Управлении военной информации. Информационное агентство было создано президентом Рузвельтом вскоре после вступления США в войну. Задачей было продвигать патриотическую пропаганду, предоставляя новостным агентствам фотографии и фильмы о военных действиях правительства.


Фотографии были сделаны на пленке Kodachrome в то время, когда цветная фотография была относительно новой, то есть приходилось позировать в течение некоторого времени. И хотя картинки были постановочные, все присутствующие на фото персонажи не были артистами - военный персонал готовился к боевым действиям.

Авиабаза ВМФ расположена в шести милях к юго-востоку от центрального делового района Корпус-Кристи, в округе Нуесе, штат Техас.
Авиабаза существовала там с 1930-х годов, но до 1940 года имела второстепенное значение. За год до начала Второй мировой войны Совет конгресса США понял, что флот не располагает достаточным количеством пилотов для активных боевых действий.
С приходом Линдона Б. Джонсона (будущего президента) в руководство, ВМФ в марте 1941 года заказал новую воздушную тренировочную станцию в заливе Корпус-Кристи.
В том же году 800 летных инструкторов прибыли в Корпус-Кристи, каждый месяц выпускалось 300 курсантов. После японской атаки на Перл-Харбор это количество почти удвоилась.
Более 35 000 авиаторов обрели крылья до конца войны здесь, включая будущего президента Джорджа Буша, который окончил летные курсы в 1943 году, всего за несколько дней до своего 19-летия.

Pearl Harbor widows have gone into war work to carry on the fight with a personal vengeance, in Corpus Christi, Texas. Mrs. Virginia Young (right) whose husband was one of the first casualties of World War II, is a supervisor in the Assembly and Repairs Department of the Naval Air Base.
