Civilian defense in the United States

Civilian protection. Fire watchers from points of vantage on roof tops and streets maintain unceasing vigilance for fallen incendiary bombs. They immediately seek to control them with equipment stored nearby

Civilian protection. An emergency unit gives first aid in the field and examines the victim of a fallen bomb. After treatment, he will be quickly evacuated to the nearest hospital or bandaged and turned over to an emergency housing unit. The "M.D." next to the caduceus on the doctor's armband indicated that he is a registered physician

Production. Airplane manufacture, general. This woman employee at North American's Inglewood, California, plant, assembles control brackets for bomber and fighter planes. All parts are arranged conveniently in the semi-circle. 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

Civilian protection. Section of the report center in New York City. Large signs readily identify the operators in constant touch with the telephone, electric, gas and water services. Others are connected to emergency food and housing units and the police and fire alarm systems

Production. P-51 "Mustang" fighter planes. The accuracy of a milling machine operation is checked by an inspector in a machine shop at the Inglewood, California, plant of the North American Aviation. The casting being milled will be part of the landing gear of a P-51 fighter plane. This plant produces the battle-tested B-25 "Billy Mitchell" bomber, used in General Doolittle's raid on Tokyo, and the P-51 fighter plane which was first brought into prominence by the British raid on Dieppe

Civilian protection. Members of the rescue parties like this worker must be prepared to reach victims of bomb raids and fallen debris and give them emergency first aid treatment. It is not always possible to remove debris by hand, therefore, rescue workers' trucks carry equipment to enable the rescue squad to shore up masonry, cut through steel or stone, shut off broken mains or tunnel through conglomerate heaps of debris. The worker here shown is using an acetylene torch to cut away a stubborn resisting piece of expanded steel

Production. Airplane manufacture, general. Two employees of the North American Aviation plant at Inglewood, California, entertain their fellow workers with a boxing match during the lunch period recreation program. 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

Civilian protection. The liaison officer maintains constant touch with forces of defense in a large city
