Interior of Base Snack Bar Kitchen and Service Aisle, 1950s
Two staff members walk through the service aisle of a base snack bar, its shelves stocked with glassware and a branded Coca-Cola cooler standing ready. Snack bars like this one offered airmen a welcome alternative to the mess hall, becoming social hubs on bases throughout the 1950s. Project: 218586
