From an excellent series of photos on Shorpy, this one titled "A Woman's Work: 1942 from September 6, 2010. These pictures gave a good idea of World War II on the home front.
Taken October 2010. "Women become skilled shop technicians after careful training in the school at the Douglas Aircraft Company plant in Long Beach, California.
Planes made here include the B-17F Flying Fortress heavy bomber, A-20 assault bomber and C-47 transport."
Photo taken by Alfred Palmer for the Office of War Information. One person commented that Mr. Palmer took hundreds of photos most in black and white and supploed 95 more.
When you view the photos, which you can find at Shorpy.com or just search the title, be sure to read the comments.
