Regardless, it's evocative of the era. Please let me know. Holy cow, I just realized that’s the flight attendant’s uniform, not military. Regardless, it’s evocative of the era. Please let me know.

I am an instructor at Georgia Tech in Atlanta and my students are currently working on a website about Atlanta during the war years. I was wondering if I could gain permission of Delta to use the digital image of the woman holding the Coke buckets, as it represents women, Delta (the air industry exploded here!), Coke, and the military, all in a single swoop! (A truly lovely find!) The image will probably appear on a splash page as part of a collage of Atlanta-themed images. I would of course give due credit to Delta, or the copyright holder. If you can give me guidance on the process for getting clearance, I'd appreciate it. I suspect that use would fall under fair use as it's education, but there's no need to test that! :) My gmail username is the same as my login name here, just add @gmail.com. Thanks very much. I look forward to hearing from you. RJB Marie,

They were probably only used for a year or so. By 1941, stainless steel chests had replaced the buckets on most flights. These new chests were not lightweight, and loaded with Cokes and ice, they must have been a real challenge for the flight attendants to manage. Those buckets are really rare.
