America In WWII

The Film Noir Photos blog posted about the print/web magazine America In WWII.  I have seen the print version at newsstands, but never visited the website before.  In addition to a large amount and variety of information about the purely military aspects of World War II, the site includes features about life on the home front, including a gallery of pulp fiction covers of crime, westerns and science fiction; and the story of how Veronica Lake changed her trademark "peek-a-boo" hairstyle to help the war effort.
