Children on the Homefront Exhibit Scavenger Hunt

This talk explores the critical role that popular culture played in building U.S. public morale in support of the war effort during World War II. It analyzes the historical context of Isolationism that preceded U.S. entry into World War II, and the ways in which the Office of War Information and the Office of Strategic Services collaborated with culture industry leaders in film, music, radio, and news media to build and sustain popular consensus in support of the nation’s successful global fight against the Axis Powers.

Plan, calculate, and fly a B-17 across the U.S., navigating weather and mechanical challenges while experiencing the real work of WASP pilots.

This scavenger hunt challenges you to explore the Submarine Exhibit within the Rescue experience by answering questions and engaging with hands-on interactives.
