Looks like a Remette in the 1942 photo. At first, I thought Envoy, until I saw the lack of a horizontal carriage return lever
He clearly had a rapport with his '44. :)
Wow, I feel better about using so many for my work! Did he have an Olivetti 21 and a Studio 44? I've grown very attached to mine.
I thought I'd seen all the photos of TW with his TWs. But no!
