Crew and Mrs. Pauley during the Reparations Send-Off
Mrs. Barbara Pauley bids "Bon Voyage" to the crew at their take-off in Los Angeles, California, for the U.S. Reparations tour. Edwin Pauley was the U.S. Ambassador on the Allied Reparations Committee from 1945-1947 (the committee that assessed the reparations the Axis powers could afford to pay the victors).
