Another person commented that their mother had worked in a similar place during the war in Connecticut's Naugatuck Valley. She was an inspector for clocks and gauges that went into submarines and planes.
All able-bodied women were "encouraged" to do their duty and assist in the war effort. Her grandmother cared for us kids as "her duty." Kids collected scrap metal and newspapers.
Everyone did their part.
Among the 95 photos of Alfred Palmer was one showing women preparing a P-51 Mustang for shipping at the Inglewood, California plant. However, instead of the US star on the side of the plane, there was the RAF insignia. This plane was being shipped to Britain for use in the Royal Air Force.
Allies cooperating.
