British flyers have \"rice patrol\" for hungry Malayans. The years of the Japanese \"locust\" have left Malaya short of rice - \"staff of life of the east\" - and provided a feeding problem for the liberating British. Inland are villages and towns inaccessible to heavy road transport. To these a \"rice patrol\" is flown by Sunderland flying-boat pilots of the Royal Air Force. Such an area is the small town of Kuantan and its surrounding villages, homes of 40,000 people. It\'s \"landing strip\" is a half-mile long stretch of water, made more difficult by shallows, circling hills and tall trees, keeping the pilot a 100 feet in the air until he \"flops\", praying he will not hit a sunken Japanese boat of floating forest debris. The British have provided each person with a ration book, stamping it when the 3 lb.-per week issue is drawn. This amount is half Malayans normally eat, and while efforts are made to restore the full quota, the natives do their best to alleviate their loss with locally provided fruit and fish. Picture shows: On the backs of natives, the rice is carried through the town.Photo measures 10 x 8 inches. Photo is dated 10--1945. PHOTO FRONT

Historic Images was formed in September 2009, with a handful of scanners working out of a basement to digitize newspaper photo archives. We have since moved out of the basement, and we can now archive thousands of photos per day. Our company has worked with magazines and newspapers from Detroit, Boston, Denver, Seattle, Tampa, Chicago, and New Orleans, just to name a few.

We are constantly adding to our inventory, and have assembled an archive of millions of photos to date. As our company evolved, we began our business, which brings thousands of fresh sales per week to the world\'s largest online sale marketplace. Our custom software systems and team of great employees allow us to efficiently scan and sell large photo archives online. At the very core of our company\'s DNA is a strong commitment to customer satisfaction and strict integrity for our product. Our promise to you is that we will do everything in our power to provide you a great buying experience.
