Production. Parachute making. There is far more to hemming this parachute than running the sewing machine. The operator must match pencil marks on the braid with pencil marks on the seams to turn out infallible parachutes for men in the Air Force. Pioneer Parachute Company, Manchester, Connecticut

Sherman tanks of 1st Polish Armoured Division assembled for Operation 'Totalise', Normandy, 8 August 1944. B8823

Tire recapping. A recap job on a passenger car tire. The tire with a tread strip of reclaimed camelback rubber is put into a curing mold. The old tread surface had previously been ground down evenly and coated with rubber adhesive. The plan to recap passenger tires with reclaimed rubber camelback, approved by rubber director William M. Jeffers, was put into effect in February 1943 to reduce the demand for replacement tires and still keep civilian cars in service

In time of war there is no excuse for carelessness, and it is carelessness that is responsible for the loss of most tire mileage. Running into a curb can mean a break in the tire wall, or at least a weakening. Blowouts are more apt to occur when these sidewalls are in bad condition

Fair employment practices in defense industries. A poster distributed by the OEM (Office of Emergency Management) Labor Division and the President's Committe on Fair Employment Practice to war plants and employment offices throughout the United States

Latest addition to D.C. War Housing Program. Bulldozer grading the grounds of Wake and Midway Halls, now being completed by Samuel Plato, contractor, for 1,000 Negro women war workers in Washington, D.C

Petty Officer 2nd Class Steven DeBerg, gunner's mate,

Fort Knox. Maintenance of mechanized equipment. Army trucks and other vehicles at Fort Knox, Kentucky, are checked thoroughly, and at regular intervals. Wherever possible, motorized military equipment is maintained in constant tip top shape, instantly ready for strenuous action

Production. Jeep engines. This grinding machine in a Midwest plant is doing yeoman service in the production of jeep engines for the Army. Continental Motors, Michigan

Reciprocal aid. Two sergeants from Texas, Sergeant A. Baker and Technical Sergeant Roy Hill, carry a string of British bullets over their shoulders to a British Spitfire. American and British air forces work side by side in the European theatre, with British furnishing important supplies and equipment under the Reciprocal Aid Program

Fort Benning. Parachute troops. Picture of a man doing a good job. He's one of Uncle Sam's student paratroopers at Fort Benning, Georgia, but the way he's getting his chute under control would be credit to an oldtimer. A few minutes ago this man bailed out of a high-speed plane at a point calculated to bring him to the spot where he is landing. Good work, soldier
