Very interesting! My mom was a young teen on the US east coast, but staffed an airplane lookout station, just in case of invasion. She took her library books to read and got a commendation about her participation from local air defense command.

:) See, this is the kind of history I love, the stuff that’s not in history books but was “just” about ordinary people and what they did under frightening circumstances
