Pacific Chemical Company,
Los Angeles, CA, during WWII
"Weapons of War" – 1942
One of the many processing sites (in this case raw sulfur) found in Los Angeles County during WWII. It is amusing
that "security" was such that Patrick had no difficulty in depicting this place and the activities there. He did have "Civilian Credentials" issued by the Western Defense Command so this may have been enough for the guard to allow Patrick to paint this, but the security apparently was still not of the highest level.
