Picked this up at the Mpls Military show a couple of weeks ago. The band stands are labled NAS (possibly Naval Air Station). The photo really shows the racial divide during WWII. All the band members are black sailors and everyone else is white.

Thats a nice shot. Could you figure a location?

 

One wonders where those band members ended up after the war and with whom they played. Probably some real talent in the group.

I'd love to have this great photo for my collection on WAR BOND items. It shows American involvement in the WAR LOAN DRIVES across many cultural and ethnic backgrounds. Buying War Bonds "united" all Americans against a common enemy.
