A Century's Worth of History
|
|
During the 1940s, Daytona Beach was not immune to the impact of the Second World War. When Pearl Harbor was bombed in 1941, the area’s men were drafted and its women went to work, rationing and blackouts became law, stock car racing halted, and tourism in Volusia County came to an abrupt end.
