Kenneth Dickerman, The Washington Post; Lesser-seen color photos showing the U.S. military in the 1940s
"In 1942, six months after the bombing of Pearl Harbor, Roosevelt created
the OWI. While the [Farm Security Administration] FSA was created to depict the hardships that farmers
were facing, the OWI’s mission was to foster patriotism as the nation
mobilized for war during World War II. In that vein, it served as a
government propaganda arm. The majority of the photos that the FSA and
the [Office of War Information] OWI produced were black and white and are those that people are more
familiar with. The color photos shown here are far less frequently
seen."
