Collection — Box: Scrapbook Box 23, Volume: One

Identifier: 2022-02-07

Adilene (Pogliano) Haderli Boeing Scrapbook consists of a scrapbook created by Haderli who worked as a painter for Boeing during World War II. The scrapbook includes clippings, photographs, correspondence, printed ephemera, and some small artifacts, both affixed to the pages and loose, predominantly related to the construction of Boeing B-17s. The majority of materials date from 1942-1945.

The scrapbook measures about 12.5x16.5x2 inches and has a brown faux-leather cover with an image of a B-17 embossed at the center. It contains 64 pages with matierals affixed to all of them and there are also additional loose materials. Numerous clippings from Seattle, Washington-area newspapers and issues of Boeing News describe B-17 construction, including completion of "Five Grand," Boeing Company employees, use of the B-29 in the war, and President Franklin Roosevelt. Some of the loose clippings date from after the war, including to the Koren War era and later. There are six 8x10-inch black-and-white photographs in the album as well as eight loose prints, which are all official Boeing Company images. The majority depict "Five Grand" but two are group portraits of the aircraft painters, one of which includes Haderli. There is also a 6.5x8.5 inch formal photographic portrait of Haderli among the loose items. A few pieces of correspondence include notes from friends, general Boeing Company memos to employees including one about receiving the Army-Navy "E" rating award for production, and a letter announcing her lay-off due to curtailed production. Various pieces of ephemera and small objects are also included such as painter's stencils, a pass for "Guest Day" at the Renton plant, two painters caps, samples of plastic used in some way on her job, and a pocket-size Boeing accident prevention manual. Some personal items collection from travels, including restaurant cocktail napkins and a map, are also present at the back of the album.
