The women's hats include a TWA logo on a ribbon. Original caption reads: "Joseph Simaner of Czechoslovak Relief shows new ambulance unit for service in Britain to TWA Hostesses Eula Walker and Ruth Ellison, and First Lieutenant K.J. Fogle, 108th Observation Squadron." The Metro has a plaque on its side that reads: "Donated by Národní Svaz Ceských Katolíku (National Alliance of Czech Catholics) - America / Federation of American Czechoslovaks of Texas."
