A Month’s-End Associated Press (AP) Photographic Celebration of: SUPREME
HMM WEEKLY HAS a precedent, deeply rooted in our tradition and history, under which we seek to thoroughly exhaust The Brick House Cooperative’s monthly allotment of Associated Press (AP) photos. If we don’t download and publish the full number of images, the unused portion becomes irretrievable. There is no appeals process for clients of the Associated Press. The principle of stare decisis, then, compels us to present you, the readers, with this month’s thematic visual topic: SUPREME.

Dwight Eisenhower – During his visit to a U.S. Heavy Bomber Station on April 11, General Dwight Eisenhower, SUPREME allied commander, named one of the latest models of the Flying Fortress, General “Ike”, by smashing a bottle of Mississippi River water against the baffles of the 50-calibre guns jutting out of the nose of the aircraft. The name is painted in huge letters of black and yellow on the nose of the ship and there is a picture of the general alongside. General Eisenhower inspects a 2000-pounder after he had named a new fortress, General “Ike” at a U.S. Heavy Bomber Station somewhere in England April 11, 1944. With him are Col. Claude E.
