John Vachon’s April 1940 image probably was made at the Allegheny County Airport, which opened in the 1920s to serve the Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, region. In this image, Vachon captured people, including children, waiting outside a fence separating them from a twin-engine passenger plane on the taxiway. The plane bears a TWA logo, representing Transcontinental & Western Air. Howard Hughes owned the airline in 1940.

Home alone: On assignment in North Dakota in October 1940, John Vachon made a black-and-white photograph of an abandoned farm house in Ward County. The clapboard dwelling, at the left in the frame, has no windows but several signs, including one for Orange Crush. To the right are four spindly trees under a threatening sky.

Fine dining: John Vachon photographed this storefront lunchroom in Newport News, Virginia, in November 1937. “Busy Bee Lunch” is painted on the glass in the door, while “Big John’s Place” is the name on the dirty windows. There is a small “Curb Service” sign, and two men wearing newsboy caps are sitting on the stoop on one side of the facade. On the sidewalk on the other side sits a cat.
