@Thomas Stillhere -- I was surfing around on the internet and found a bunch of old pictures of the Houston area on Pinterest. You might enjoy these if you haven't seen them already. https://www.pinterest.com/pin/2955555991595032/

1940's Pilot Shirley Slade at Only 22 Years Old Shirley Slade was chosen for a group of about one thousand female pilots called the Women Airforce Service Pilots or WASPs during WWII. This image was taken in 1943 when she was only twenty-two years young. It captures her fierce face, flying helmet, goggles, and gloves all on, ready for takeoff. It was a difficult feat to embark on, but Shirley was always confident and prepared to train and fly her plane. Shirley looks effortlessly cool in this photograph. It allows you to look into her eyes and feel an emotional reaction that you would otherwise not be able to imagine without the picture.
I agree, I thought it looked more like a today's woman Then from 1943, however I found her story as interesting as the picture.

Many kids had to work in building this nation we all so freely surrender to tyrant leaders and oligarch's.
Our house burned down with all our pictures. Mama always was sad about losing the pictures. And the house of course.
This is the main street of the little town of Bonners Ferry, Idaho, where my folks lived when they went through the Great Depression and WW2 and when I was born. The downtown area is next to the Kootenai River, and before the Libby Dam was put in (in Montana) the town would often flood in the spring. I remember driving up there and they would have the military putting sand bags along the banks of the river to keep the town from flooding. Some years, it flooded anyway. My mom and dad lived out of town and up on a hill, so they did not have to worry about the flooding, but the people downtown did have to try and save the town every year. This picture is from the flood of 1947, when the whole downtown area of the town was flooded.
