A Rendering of Then-Major Joseph Laughlin by Captain George Rarey
Title
A Rendering of Then-Major Joseph Laughlin by Captain George Rarey
Subject
During downtime, Captain George Rarey practiced his unique art on members of his squadron
Description
When they were not training, flying missions, sleeping, or eating, pilots needed downtime to unwind. Captain George Rarey did so by sketching. In this illustration, Captain Rarey catches an easy-going face on then-Major Laughlin as members of the squadron slump around in the background. Captain Rarey used whatever paper he could get his hands on for these sketches. For this one, he used a formerly Restricted piece of information: the August 1943 Communication codes for East Coast Headquarters.
