More WPA on Flickr, and a Photo Duel.
We love us some Library of Congress at TPP. Do you know they have a dedicated flickr account? Check it out.
Here are some of our favorites:

Lee, Russell, 1903-, photographer. Jack Whinery, homesteader, with his wife and the youngest of his five children, Pie Town, New Mexico 1940 Sept.

Delano, Jack, 1914-, photographer. "Backstage" at the "girlie" show at the Vermont state fair, Rutland 1941 Sept.

Lee, Russell, 1903-, photographer. Shepherd with his horse and dog on Gravelly Range, Madison County, Montana 1942 Aug.

Delano, Jack, 1914-, photographer. Indiana Harbor Belt RR, switchman demonstrating signal with a "fusee" - used at twilight and dawn - when visibility is poor. This signal means "stop." Calumet City, Ill. 1943 Jan.

Palmer, Alfred, photographer. This girl in a glass house is putting finishing touches on the bombardier nose section of a B-17F navy bomber, Long Beach, Calif. She's one of many capable women workers in the Douglas Aircraft Company plant. Better known as the "Flying Fortress," the B-17F is a later model of the B-17 which distinguished itself in action in the South Pacific, over Germany and elsewhere. It is a long range, high altitude heavy bomber, with a crew of seven to nine men, and with armament sufficient to defend itself on daylight missions. 1942 Oct.

Rothstein, Arthur, 1915-, photographer. Instructor explaining the operation of a parachute to student pilots, Meacham Field, Fort Worth, Tex. 1942 Jan.
This Arthur Rothstein image reminded us of something…. oh yes.
