About This Item

The B-24 Travel Bug

The B-24 Travel Bug is a vintage photo of a WWII B-24 Bomber.

When my owner was a young woman during WWII, she was hired to be a mechanic helper at Hill Air Force Base (Ogden, UT) along with her twin sister and two girlfriends. B-24 Bombers were the only planes at Hill Field. This was a fun job and my owner enjoyed her time there helping out with the war effort.

Gas was rationed at the time so people used carpools. You would drive great distances to get gas at Hill Field, but they could only buy it if there were several people in the car with enough gas coupons from the ration books.

There were German POW's at Hill Field and they swept and cleaned the hangars. The POW's were very young kids. They didn't look like men that belonged in the army and were too young to fight a war. They never did cause any trouble while they were at Hill Field.

I remember the day Pearl Harbor was bombed. I was in bed with my grandmother. She was telling us Pioneer stories and the newspaper boy ran down the street yelling "Pearl Harbor was bombed!". This was how we learned about the war.
