These pictures are of various scenes captured by those who lived
in, traveled to, or were otherwise stationed in towns such as
Anchorage or Fairbanks, AK during the war years. Our thanks to
those who have contributed to these pages! Hopefully some of
our visitors will share similar photos with us!

#2. Anchorage's version of
Broadway. The only thing that is
missing are the millions of
lights...and oh yes, the
temperature's a little off as well.

You might find the dog sled
delivery vehicles behind the
