October 1941. Radford, Virginia. "Sunset Village, FSA project for defense workers in Hercules powder plant. Individual homes on land leased from nearby farmers. Son of defense worker gathering scrap lumber." Photo by Marion Post Wolcott, Farm Security Admin. View full size.
There was a movie called Radio Flyer (1992) with a wagon identical to the Road Master in this photo.
Was the Radio Flyer an updated name for the same product?
