Gamma Phi Betas Sold $15 Million in War Bonds

GAMMA PHI BETAS SELL $15 MILLION IN WAR BONDS
With the focus of the world on the effects of World War II, Gamma Phi Betas were compelled to take action and support the troops. Members sold more than $15 million in war bonds, resulting in the purchase of six hospital planes, two war hospitals, one war hospital ship and medical care for countless wounded soldiers.

Pictured are members with one of the airplanes purchased, a Northrop 'Black Widow.' Inez Northrop (Southern California, 1944) who is pictured in this photo was the daughter of Jack Northrop, the owner and designer of these war airplanes.
