Born in Canada, Clarence Doore settled and worked in both Massachusetts and Connecticut.  He was active from the late 1930s until the mid-1960s.  During World War II, he was stationed at the Climatic Research Laboratory, where the army studied the effects of extreme weather conditions on soldiers.  Doore’s sketches of soldiers fighting in snow and ice led to the Pentagon adopting the use of the fur-lined “Eisenhower jacket” for alpine troops.

Doore did illustrations for several pulp magazines and paperback publishers.  His exciting work can speak for itself.
