Employed at the Inglewood, California, plant of North American Aviation, Incorporated. This plant produces the battle tested B-25 ("Billy Mitchell") bomber, used in General Doolittle's raid on Tokyo, and the P-51 ("Mustang") fighter plane, which was first brought into prominence by the British raid on Dieppe

Production. Airplane manufacture, general. On North American's "Sunshine" assembly line at Inglewood, California, a B-25 bomber is prepared for painting. Paper is taped to those areas to be painted.

Women in industry. Aircraft motor workers. Employer resistance to the hiring of women workers in war industries is rapidly becoming a thing of the past, and this young employee of a Midwest aircraft motor plant embodies the reasons for this change of heart. With no previous industrial experience, she mastered the operation of this compressed-air machine in record time, and is now polishing airplane motor parts with speed and skill

Production. Airplane maufacture, general. American mothers and sisters, like these women at the Long Beach, California, plant of Douglas Aircraft Company, give important help in producing planes for their men at the front. Most important of the many types of aircraft made at the plant are the B-17F ("Flying Fortress") heavy bomber, the A-20 ("Havoc") assault bomber and the C-47 heavy transport plane for the carrying of troops and cargo

Production. Airplane manufacture, general. After lucite (a shatter-proof plastic "glass") is formed for transparent enclosures, the edges are cut to the right size on an enemy wheel at the North American Aviation plant at Inglewood, California. This plant produces the battle-tested B-25 ("Billy Mitchell") bomber, used in General Doolittle's raid on Tokyo, and the P-51 ("Mustang") fighter plane, which was first brought into prominence by the British raid on Dieppe
