The Fighting Forties Stories

After the Battle of Britain in 1940 and the attack on Pearl Harbor in 1941, the United States, along with Britain and other Allies were engaged in World War II against the Axis Powers in Europe and the Far East. Old stories in this section highlight the memories of brave men and women who fought in this war and those who manned the factories and farms on the Home Front.

Browse our sub-categories to help you find the stories you're looking for.

The good old days of the 1940s were marked by a sense of unity and patriotism, even as thousands found themselves dispersed throughout the globe, serving their country with honor and distinction. When the war ended, these heroes returned home to their sweethearts, jobs, farms, and family. Although some of the old stories from the 1940s are somewhat "heavy," many are encouraging, light-hearted and rich with life lessons learned, especially those told through the eyes of a child. We're sure you'll enjoy this collection of stories. Be sure to check out "A Nose for Crime," "Country Thanksgiving," and "Cooking Up Smiles."
