Roadside Automobile Repair, Late 1930s Streamlined Sedan

A stateside snapshot from the KOTEC China-Burma collection shows an ordinary moment of automobile trouble: a man works under the hood of a streamlined late-1930s sedan along a country roadside. Personal photographs such as this, taken before or between periods of overseas service, offer a glimpse of everyday American life connected to the individuals represented in the collection.
