Three-inch A.A. cartridge cases. Cartridge cases for three-inch antiaircraft shells are produced by a series of operations that transform a flat brass disc into a case ready for loading with propelling charge and shell. Between each operation there is careful washing to remove all scale and adhesion and to leave surfaces clean for later processing. The big Midwest plant doing the work is well equipped to handle it in stride

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.

Topeka, Kansas. In the blacksmith shop of the Atchison, Topeka, and Santa Fe Railroad.

Three-inch A.A. cartridge cases. Loading antiaircraft cartridge cases into a stress-annealing furnace to make them soft, uniform and ductile, ready for succeeding machine operations. The equipment possessed by this big Midwest plant was well suited for producing these cases in large volume

Mitchell Field. An American knight of the air mans the upper gun of one of our new bombers. He, his gun and his plane are typical of the personnel and equipment that have gained world respect for the American Air Force

Aluminum casting. Womens' place in this large Midwest aluminum factory is on the inspection line. She's giving a final checkup on these aluminum pistons which are destined for use by America's armed forces. Destination of the finished aluminum products is kept secret. They'll probably end up as jeep or airplane engine parts. Aluminum Industries Inc., Cincinnati, Ohio
