In the heat of the Battle of Britain (September 7, 1940 to May 21, 1941) a contribution was made to the women of the U.K. by Mrs. Frances Ruskin of NYC–well, sort of a contribution, or at least a suggestion of something bearing some resemblance to camaraderie. “Light and dark colored air raid suites”, with adjustable hoods and deep pockets outfitted with blast plates, and made “fireproof” by a “treatment” from du Pont. This short note appeared in Popular Mechanics in May, 1941.
