Playlist For July 26, 2017
The playlist for the July 26, 2017 broadcast of the Swing Shift Shuffle has now been added to the playlist filing cabinet. The Blue Lady
According to Four Color Shadows, the Blue Lady was one of the few female superheroes to precede Wonder Woman, and this story from 1941 was her final appearance. Apparently, she possessed an exotic ring that gave her super powers. The limits of her powers are not clear from this issue, but it seems she can turn into a mist, uproot trees and break chains, although gas does incapacitate her.

V-Mail
Sarah Sundin is an author who specializes in World War II-era romance. I'll freely admit that, when I even have time to read, "romance" is not on my list of genres. That being said, I do follow her blog, where she posts about events and other interesting facts from WWII. That is where I saw her post about Victory Mail or V-Mail, the U.S. military's solution to the logistical problem of millions of letters from military personnel to the folks back home. V-mail was written on pre-printed forms, and then photographed onto microfilm, which was transported to the recipient's overseas theater of operations. Once there, the V-Mail was reprinted from the microfilm back onto paper at one quarter the size, and then delivered to the recipient. Never mandatory, it was apparently successful, and the military saved room for around five million tons of cargo using this system.
