There is something very romantic about a WWII couple and this vintage photo shows a US Army Air Force crewman with his sweetheart while home on leave.

1940's WWII couple

This is my aunt and uncle so I know the story. This man was a tail gunner on a B17 bomber during WWII. He came home on one leave during his deployment and this photo was taken at that time. He is wearing his military uniform and has his arm around his young wife who is wearing her hair in a classic pin up style. Her hair is dark, full of curls, and shoulder length. The top has height while the sides are bobby pinned close to the scalp to give the appearance of a partial updo. It was common for women of this era to wear a simple white blouse and a patterned print skirt that has a wide waist band and pleats. The length is to the knee. Her shoes lace up and bobby socks were fashionable.

Her warm yellow blonde tresses are a bit tousled looking but still this is a very neat and well kept hairstyle to go along with her blue jacket and white dress. The layers add depth and allow the curls to bounce in different directions giving the style the look of movement. The cut does not have a defined part. The bangs are directed forward and then brushed to the side as they hit the eyebrow.
