GOING, GOING, GONE: SECURITY-FREE AIRPORTS

(Source of picture: Florida State Archives)

Did you know that many commercial airplanes didn't have refrigeration during the 1940s?  On a warm summer day, this cute airport staff member rolled cold Cokes to an outgoing flight at Imeson airport.  Personnel stocked planes with iced drinks at the beginning of a journey.  The photo dates from September 7, 1947.
