The collection also includes correspondence, clippings, and publicity of the Korean War Children's Memorial and articles, notes and research documents on Russell Blaisdell, Dean Hess, and the Kiddy Car Airlift rescue operation that took place in 1950 during the Korean War and was dramatized in the 1957 film entitled "Battle Hymn" starring Rock Hudson. Included within the Kiddy Car Airlift series is Drake's photo exhibit and published booklet regarding this event, entitled "GIs and the Kids: A Love Story", as well as his research diaries and documents in attempt to uncover the truth of this event.
