This Painting Was Done During World War II In 1944 While My Then Financee (Now Husband, Lt. Col. John S. Hoppock) Was Stationed At Myrtle Beach, South Carolina, In Charge Of The 316th Gunnery Training Squadron. I Was Working At That Time For Bechtel Mccong Modification Plant (B-24s) In Birmingham, Al., As A Production Illustrator.
