San Francisco: State Association of California Architects Air Raid Protection Advisory Board 1942. Presumed First Edition First printing thus. Stapled at upper left corner Sheets printed on one side only. Good. 9 pages information on one side of sheet only. Tabular Data presented. Rare surviving item of WWII Civil Defense ephemera. The Director of the Board was J. Francis Ward and Philip L. Soljak was the Board Secretary. The Introduction states: It has been thought advisable to devote this bulletin which appears to be the last that will be issued unless circumstances change to the subject of: "Protective Construction for Industrial Plants." Of the several reasons for this choice the most important seems to be that considerable attention is bound to be given to this phase of Air Raid Protection in the future. The Office of Civilian Defense is apparently much concerned with the vulnerability of Pacific Coast plants and may shortly insist on protective measures to insure that vital industrial output is not interrupted by possible air raids. The architect or engineer is therefore advised to make himself familiar with some of the problems connect with the work. The principal considerations were stated as: Nature of the Attack Medical Services Organization of Personnel Protection of vital utility services and communications behavior of crowds cooperation with authorities and of course protective construction activities which could involve concealment protection of workers and protection of buildings and contents. Techniques could include camouflage deception of aerial photography and blackout. Protection of workers involved analysis of a variety of hazards storage of dangerous materials etc. Joseph Francisco Ward Architect born 02-23-1898 died 06-25-1970. Born in New Zealand he lived and worked mostly in San Francisco where he was a partner in the architectural firm of Farr and Ward. Some of the firm's residential designs were the subject of articles in Architectural Digest during the 1920s 1930s and 1940s. He was a member of the American Institute of Architects AIA. Air raid shelters are structures for the protection of non-combatants as well as combatants against enemy attacks from the air. They are similar to bunkers in many regards although they are not designed to defend against ground attack but many have been used as defensive structures in such situations. Before WWII the U.K. had difficulty choosing the location of air raid shelters. During WWII many types of structures were used as air raid shelters such as cellars German Hochbunkers basements and underpasses. Bombing raids during WWI led the U.K. to build 80 specially adapted underground tube stations as shelters later abandoning them as viable options for citizens during air attacks. Londoners ignored the government and flooded into underground stations during 1940 bombing attacks. Bombs and accidents took civilian casualties at the underground stations. The U.K. began building street communal shelters as air raid shelters in 1940. Anderson shelters designed in 1938 and built to hold up to six people were also in common use in the U.K. Indoor shelters known as Morrison shelters were also in use. Air raid shelters are still in use to some extent in various nations such as Spain Switzerland Israel Singapore and Taiwan.
