Keywords: indoor monochrome Lot-9433-5: These Are The Ships And The Men Who Deliver Oil To The Allies. Despite Axis submarines, the U.S. is continuing to deliver oil for the Allied war machine. This success is due chiefly to two things – tankers and men. The tankers carry their own “cargo insurance” – big guns for the U-boats, machine guns for enemy aircraft. The men who man them are tough, fearless and capable of meeting any opposition the enemy has to offer. These pictures, made aboard a U.S. tanker, show the men at work and some of the measures taken to protect them. Shown: Enemy submarines hold no terror for these Americans, lined up to apply for a job on a tanker. Office of War Information Photograph, 16-22 April 1942. Original photograph is small.
