We took the book apart in order to scan the pages. Now it is clear that the paper on which the prints were pasted has become fragile over the decades, so that when the scanning job is done we will probably not rebind it. Do not worry overmuch: I am putting each page into a plastic sleeve with a page-number label fixed to the plastic.
Page 18 scan, top half:
Zoom in, below, to see the window details of the eatery at #329. "In Bounds United States Armed Forces."
So is this one of the "workhorse" DC-3s mentioned in MMB, Chapter 2?
Photobook page 18 scan, bottom half:
A Dopp employee and nephew to Charles Doppelt, Jerome Harris, worked for the company for decades, eventually driving innovations himself. An interview with his son includes discussion of the WWII experience in Europe of Jerome Harris.
Found while looking, and failing to find, an image of Charles Doppelt or his Chicago factory, the image below, which is pretty famous. If an attribution is to be found, I would like to have it. No Dopp kit is in sight, but there has to have been one to hold that nice shaving brush. I also like the gas-can table de toilette.
Next post, we return to Chapter 2 of OSS Special Operations in China.
