I love that you can see a small 'echo' in the 80's-90's when the bulk of the boomers started having their kids. There are also signs of the economy in this graph - you can see the economic downturn of the 1970s and 2008 crash.
the most surprising part of this for me is the boom of 42/43, which I would guess is the 'one last hurrah before I ship off' boom. Didn't really know about that one.

I like the peaks a '42 and '46. In '42 it's, 'honey, l'm going might not come back'. In '46 it's, 'honey, I'm home!'.
