Production. Aircraft. An aluminum casting, placed on an X-ray film-holder, ready to be photographed in the test laboratory of a big Western aircraft plant. The numeral figures being placed on the film are made of lead and will stop the X-ray beam. A clean, sharp number is left on the film for future identification of the part

Production. Aircraft. Setting up aluminum castings for X-ray in a large Western aircraft plant. Each one is numbered and, unless the X-ray film shows it's flawless, the part will go to the salvage scrap heap

Production. Aircraft. Samples for microscope inspection--a lowly rivet, a screw, an extruded part--prepared by a test engineer in a large Western aircraft plant. Samples are embedded in bakelite, polished to mirror finish, then etched with acid to bring out the grain. A faulty grain structure, as revealed through the microscope, will show up low-grade material or faulty processing methods in the manufacture of the part
Production. Aircraft. Here's one good reason why refrigerator freezing trays and other aluminum gadgets are out for the duration. On trays in the background are hundreds of aluminum castings going into Lockheed bombers and fighters. Every prime casting is "explored" in a huge X-ray camera like the one seen here. On X-ray film, flaws that might cause failure of these vital parts show up plainly to the expert eye, and the part is discarded

Production. Airplane manufacture, general. An employee in North American Aviation's sheet metal sub-assembly department at Inglewood, California, uses a emery wheel to smooth out a weld in a plane part. 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. Aircraft. At the end of a Flying Fortress assembly line, this mechanic in a large Western plant makes a final check on a landing gear hydraulic system. That big round object in the foreground is a rubber tire. Remember?
