The United States in the 1940's(In Color) *Large Pictures*

[HumptyBrah]

No thank, Jefferoni. It's easy to idealize the 1950s. But for everyone other than rich white people, it would have been sh!t. Brb segregation and racism. Brb not being hired because of your skin color, age, or sex. Brb brb. Yeah, 2013 ain't perfect, but it's not bad, either. You can still find good girls out there. You can still eat right and stay fit. You can still work hard, get a good job, and make a decent living. You can still go on a sunset hike, and hey take your iPhone with your and take pics along the way. Also, I strongly believe we're close to growing organs and curing male-pattern hair loss. The future is bright.

I didn't know who you were before yesterday but I've discovered that you're a whiny liberal *******

[random1whitekid]

Funny how these pictures are higher quality than my iPhone. (srs)

[Jkether]

[HughMyronbraugh]

And no a single fat person was seen that decade.

[FourKicks]

alpha as fuk!!!

[shroomed]

strong this. if there were past lives, I swear I was a farmer in the US in the mid 1900's. I get a weird nostalgic feeling (probably because entire fathers side of family is from the US).

what is also great about these photos are people aren't glued to there phones.

Women back then were so much more respectable because they actually adopted a symbiotic relationship with men.

Negged for trying to make the thread about politics.

[Gabriel Anton]

I see the difference in women from generations all the time,

brb 80 year old women parking far as hell and carrying their own stuff
brb 40 year old fat lazy bitch on her phone having husband drive to the curb to pick them up

I have strong respect for anyone that grew up during the wars (ww2/Korea), especially the women folk.


thanks for all the aviation pics - I'm a massive ww2 aviation nerd/flight simmer, though my particular interests tend toward Axis aircraft

[DatPass]

Bombers with no wings look like some futuristic dropship chit... i thought that first photo of them was a pisstake on Starship Troopers or Aliens lmao.

lulz at white miscers saying a simpler time or wish we didn't advance so far, even after looking at the slave pictures, clearly you jest?

you're right. Slavery wasn't abolished until quite recently. In 1949 every black American was a slave.

[ProteinEnough]

Damn women back then were mad Alpha compared to women today, would make a sandwich for them.

this very much.

[neowolfe]

couple is maybe in their mid 20's and already got 5 kids. probably the norm back before contraception

[ansatsuken]

Love seeing that the US was once full of healthy-looking laborers.

The colors are amazing. So hard for my mind to put such an early year on these pictures, everything we've ever seen before is black and white.

[BlackBaki]

Interesting photos.

edit:

couple is maybe in their mid 20's and already got 5 kids. probably the norm back before contraception

I'd say late 20's early 30's

You have given out too much Reputation in the last 24 hours, try again later.

Do you even Focke Wulf 190?

[MightySTAR1]

beautiful

[BritishBullldog]

They had so much more class in those days, the men wore suits as casual wear.

[Maestro]

Thats right outside my office. srs. don't have my phone on me but I'll try to remember to take a pic later and post it.

That area looks vaguely familiar.....

[Finch000]

Right in the feels OP, I just saw a D-Day thing on tv the other day and at the end it said less than 10% of the people who fought in the war are still alive. brb imagining that they were the same age as me when many of them went through that chit and stuff it just blows my mind and also makes me want to live the fullest because one day I'll be old
