This was the backdrop of how things were when my k-22 Masterpiece rolled out of the Smith & Wesson factory that same year. George Orwell finished his manuscript for his new book '1984' and checked himself into a TB Sanatorium in 1948. The Summer Olympics made their return in 1948 in London, England. The first woman was elected to the Senate. The United States Armed Forces were desegregated and women were allowed in the Air Force (WAFs). The State of Israel was created and the Arab-Israeli War occurs. The Berlin Blockade and Airlift kicked off the Cold War. 'Badges? We don't need no stinking badges.' The year was 1948 and Humphrey Bogart was filming the movie 'The Treasure of the Sierra Madre.' Another of his films was already in theatres that year, 'Key Largo.' Other events of 1948.
