Summary

[edit]
Description Lot-1822-4: Marine Corps Base, Parris Island, South Carolina, May 1942. “Old Swampy” (No.1 to you) was at one time, the problem child of the Marine Corps balloon-barrage unit in training at Parris Island, South Carolina, used to go A.W.O.L. on runway excursions. The Leathernecks, though, taught her manners. Now she’s a great favorite, and her crew likes to tell tall takes of her early escapes. Office of War Information. Courtesy of the Library of Congress.
