By Hlad, Alan2019., John Scognamiglio Books, Kensington Books Call No: HISTORICAL FICTION Edition: 1st Kensington hardcover ed. Availability:2 of 2 At Location(s) Summary Note: "September, 1940. German bombs fall on Britain, and enemy fighter planes blacken the sky around the Epping Forest, home of Susan Shepherd and her grandfather, Bertie. The two raise homing pigeons, and Susan's favorite is Duchess. Hatched from an egg that Susan incubated in a bowl under her grandfather's desk lamp, Duchess shares a special bond with Susan. A Maine crop-duster pilot, Ollie Evans travels to Britain to join the Royal Air Force. In the National Pigeon Service, Susan is involved in an assignment code-named Source Columba, to air-drop hundreds of homing pigeons in German-occupied France, hopefully to convey crucial information on German troop movements. Friendship between Ollie and Susan deepens, but when Ollie's plane is downed behind enemy lines both know the chance of reunion is remote."--Adapted from dust jacket.

-- In the 1940s[2015]., Grey House Publishing Call No: REF 330.973 MARS Edition: [First edition]. Availability:1 of 1 At Location(s)Remote access available: onondaga Summary Note: "A companion resource to the 1940 Census just released by the US National Archives, This is Who We Were, provides the reader with a deeper understanding of what life was like in America in 1940 and how it compares statistically to life today. Using both original material from the 1940 Census (reprinted here in a different color), readers will find richly-illustrated Personal Profiles, Economic Data, and Current Events to give meaning and depth to what life was like in 1940 America as the country was emerging from depression, but on the verge of war. Next, a wide range of data from the 1940 and 2010 Census are put side-by-side so users can quickly and easily see differences and similarities over these past 70 years. Background Information - Then & Now: Provides the reader with a framework to explore this interesting text including the Media Response to the 1940 Census and State Ranking Tables that compare the 1940 to the 2010 Census by 16 different data points. Individual cities are also ranked at the back of the volume. Personal Profiles: This section profiles 26 Americans whose lives were sandwiched between the Great Depression and World War II, undeniably a fascinating time in America's history. Each profile also offers interesting detail on the individual's community, not only where he or she worked, but where they lived, shopped, and schooled their children. When possible, profiles include original tables from the 1940 Census. For example, the story of an autoworker in Detroit, Michigan includes nine original tables from the 1940 Census, which are specific to Detroit in 1940. They are reprinted exactly as they appeared 73 years ago, and provide population statistics about Detroit's citizens including age, education, country of birth, and employment. Historical Snapshots: Examines the decade leading up to 1940 through a historical lens. What was going on in America? What new products were invented? What movies were popular? What clothing styles were fashionable? This fun, easy-to-read section also offers the "facts" in politics, social action and more. These snapshots bring to mind when Social Security checks were first distributed (late 1930s), when McDonald's first opened (1940), and hundreds more facts that help paint a picture of America in the years leading up to, thus influencing, results of the 1940 Census. Economy of the Times: Presents a wide range of economic data, including the prices of food, clothing, transportation and housing, typical salaries for dozens of jobs and so much more. This section provides a fascinating look at the economic picture of 1940 and how the engine that drives our economy has changed. For example, Economy of the Times shows that the average utility bill in 1939 was $23.66 A YEAR! All Around Us -What We Saw, Wrote, Read & Listened To: There is no better way to put your finger on the pulse of a country than to read its magazines and newspapers. This sections offers 50 original pieces - articles, comic strips, advertisements, and book excerpts - that influenced those Americans who made up the 1940 Census. This section offers a fascinating look at the current trends and issues facing the average American family from 1930-1940."--Publisher website.
