There is still no inspiration quite as inspiring as a story request from an actual person. In related news, I'd be grateful for suggestions about any of the following:
1) Sources on Japanese American food just post World War II--either descriptive or actual recipes. So far I've got this NPR piece on Weenie Royale, which is pretty cool even if it doesn't sound particularly tasty. Cookbooks for modern Japanese American food are easy to find--anything prior to the general introduction of sushi in the US, not so much.
2) Sources, either fiction or non-fiction, for mood in the US in response to the start of the Cold War. I have a pretty good handle on what it felt like after everyone got used to it (as much as one can get used to the looming shadow of nuclear war), but could use a better idea of the balance between post-war techno-optimism and oh-god-what's-that-thing-on-the-horizon in the late 40s.
3)When did commercial cross-continent air travel actually start to be a thing? That is, at one point did it switch from one-offs for ridiculously rich people to regular flight schedules available to the merely well-to-do? Thank you, Wikipedia--looking up the actual airports I want to use gives me the information I need. (As opposed to searching for general histories of air travel, which did not.)
