I always kind of wondered if she ever baked with any of George Kistiakowsky's "Aunt Jemima" flour. Most of that stuff went to the Chinese and was used against the Japanese but it would have made a great story if Julia Childs used the stuff.

Spaw

(George K. was a chemist who developed an explosive stable enough to be ground into flour and baked into cakes, etc. during WWII. He was a real genius who also developed the explosive lens (shaped charge) used to implode the Plutonium bombs.   Later he was Ike's chief science advisor. Lots of very funny "Kisty" stories floating as he was also a bit of a character and practical joker.)
