Historical Account Ernie Pyle was a famous war reporter during WW2 that used old beat up Corona typewriters. He had many different typewriters that on at least one occasion he gave to a soldier when he came under enemy fire. One such Corona typewriter was found and is displayed at the Albuquerque museum with his name written in it. An identical typewriter was recently uncovered by the grandson of a man who claims to have won the typewriter in a poker game with a soldier named George Pratt. George Pratt, according to his military records, served in the 77 th infantry in Okinawa during WW2. This is the same regiment that Ernie Pyle was covering when he was killed. In fact, on the day he was killed Pyle was with Pratt and a few others and came upon enemy fire. Although no known letters exist that match the typewriter that was recovered by Pratt, Pyle likely had multiple typewriters with him and had not gotten a chance to use this one before he met his untimely death.
