THE SAN FERNANDO VALLEY WINS WORLD WAR II

CHERISHING OUR VALLEY      2012

The San Fernando Valley's population played a major part in America's victory in World War II.War plants, such as Lockheed Aircraft in Burbank, simply out produced the weapons made by the enemy.

The historical documents from this era in The Museum's archives are filled with ethnic and racial slurs directed toward the enemy, especially the Japanese.
