Production. Airplane manufacture, general. The fabric department at Inglewood, California, plant of North American Aviation is the only department that had women employees before the war. Here, women sew the covering and control surface parts for bomber and fighter planes. 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
