During his far-flung wartime inspection tours, President Roosevelt often received models and other gifts from workers and staff in defense factories and military facilities. Workers at a Douglas Aircraft Company plant in Tulsa, Oklahoma, gave him this model of the Douglas A-26 Bomber during his April 19, 1943 inspection visit. Plant employee Otis Smallwood presented the model to the President.
The model is on display in the MOBILIZING THE PEOPLE exhibit in the Museum’s WORLD WAR II gallery.
