| The four freedoms. Let'er rip, and carefree couples glide earthward from the top of Coney Island's famous parachute jump. Not shown are the milling crowds below, who enjoy the carefree screams of the people on the chutes as much as the brave chutists themselves. between 1941 Nov. and 1942 Feb. |
The four freedoms. Step right up folks, for the greatest ride in the world. Gay crowds like these are common at Coney Island and all up and down the length of the western shore of the Atlantic Ocean. It's like a different story on the eastern shores between 1941 Nov. and 1942 Feb. |
