Add to basketCondition: Fair. FRAGILE. Format is a single sheet, 13 inches by 8 inches, folded in half to create four panels/pages. RARE surviving item of ephemera from US WWII activities in Bermuda. Front page is illustrated with two female figures, one prim and proper and the other scantily clad in a "Wonder Woman" style outfit with stripe…s and a star. The word Bermuda is written in ink at the bottom of this cover page. The center between the two inner panels/pages is weak, missing pieces, and at risk of separation. The first of the interior pages present the first pact, entitled "Bustles" which has five musical numbers, including "A French Post Card Comes to Life" and a five minute Intermission is listed at the bottom. The next panel/page is entitled "Briefs", and has eleven musical numbers, including the Finale. There is a list of a dozen "Parade Girls" at the bottom of this page. The last panel/page incudes Notes on the Show, Identifies the music as by the Naval Aires and the Navy Glee Club, and provides Acknowledgments. Special appreciation was made to Admiral Sowell and General Strong for their support in the presentation of "Bustles and Briefs". It is doubted that this entertainment would be deemed socially correct by today's standards. Since 1941, the USO has been the nation's leading organization to serve the men and women in the U.S. military, and their families, throughout their time in uniform. Thus, this surviving item of the Naval Operating Base in Bermuda it is also a rare item of ephemera from an early WWII international USO deployment. In March 1943, Ingram C. Sowell was promoted to the rank of Rear admiral and ordered to Bermuda, where he assumed duty as Commander of Naval Operating Base there. While in this capacity, he held additional duties as Task Group Commander in the Atlantic Fleet and as Deputy of the Commander-in-Chief, Atlantic Fleet under Admiral Royal E. Ingersoll. Sowell supervised the Fleet Base, maintained relations with civil and military authorities and conducted escort, salvage and rescue operations. He remained on Bermuda until September 1944, when he received orders for new command and was decorated with Legion of Merit for his service. Brigadier General Alden G. Strong was the Commanding Officer of American troops on Bermuda. The United States Navy's Naval Operating Base was a seaplane base in Bermuda, the original U S Naval Air Station Bermuda. Following the US Navy's takeover of Kindley Air Force Base (subsequently retitled USNAS Bermuda), the base was adapted to other uses as an annex to the new USNAS Bermuda, the NAS Annex. Prior to American entry into the Second World War, an agreement was arranged between the governments of British Prime Minister Winston Churchill and U.S. President Franklin D. Roosevelt for the loan of a number of obsolete, mothballed ex-US Naval destroyers to the Royal Navy and the Royal Canadian Navy, in exchange for which the USA was granted 99-year base rights in a number of British West Indian territories. This Destroyers for Bases Agreement, a forerunner of the Lend-Lease Agreement, had the effect of placing the defense of those territories in the hands of the neutral USA, allowing British forces to be sent to the sharper ends of the War. Although not part of this exchange, Churchill also granted the US similar base rights in Bermuda and Newfoundland, however no destroyers or other war material were received by Britain in exchange. The grants came as a surprise to the Colonial Government, when US engineers arrived in 1940 to begin surveying the colony for the construction of an airfield that was envisioned as taking over most of the West End of the Island. Frantic protests by the Governor and local politicians led to those plans being revised. The US Army would build an airfield at the North of Castle Harbour. The US Navy would build a flying boat station at the West End. The US Navy began initial operation of Anti-submarine patrols by an Inshore Patrol squadron flying Vought OS2U floatp.
