After reading your notes regarding this, I did a quick search online and found a little more about this hairstyle. Thought you might like to see some photos in case you haven't quite got it in your head what this style looks like. Ken Victory Rolls (Side Reverse-Rolls) Possibly one of the most recognizable looks of the 1940's, and one of the most flattering looks, top reverse rolls are swept up away from the face, rolled and pinned toward the top of the head. In the late 1940's, the victory roll hairstyle was wildly popular. This term was actually used for a fighter plane maneuver, but women adopted it for a fashion statement that celebrated the victory after WWII. Note that the hair is swept upward and slightly forward, this is typical of the 1940's. Also, ladies, remember not to let your rolls appear hollow-- ever! Being able to see through the back of the roll is a 1940's no-no, and makes your hair look thin and poorly finished. Afterall, the goal of such a hairstyle is to make it look like you have so much lovely, flowing, curly hair that you don't know what to do with it!
