To get a good view of the Living Statue, you must go to the source. Amazing ---18,000 men.

Don't know if you're aware of the American artist Dean Cornwell. Part of his portfolio includes patriotic posters and illustrations in aidof the war effort in America during WWII.
Below is one link to his work. To find his war time work, just scroll down.

        3, 1986, story in the <EM>Fort Dodge Messenger</EM>, many men fainted-they were dressed 
        in woolen uniforms-as the temperature neared 105 degrees Farenheit. The photo, taken 
        from the top of a specially constructed tower by a Chicago photography        studio, Mole & Thomas, was intended to help promote the sale of war bonds but was never 
    used."
