Production. Tin smelting. Removing slag after tapping a furnace in a Southern tin smelter. The tin extracted from the ore has already been drawn off into floats for further refining. The slag is then run off to the right into ladles which will carry it to recooking operations. The slag is reintroduced to the process for further recovery of the metal

Production. Copper (refining). Sheets of copper produced by electrolysis at a large refining operation. These will be melted and cast into ingots. Large amounts of copper are produced for the war effort at the El Paso, Texas plant of Phelps-Dodge Refining Company

Production. B-17F heavy bombers. Overall view of a conveyor assembly line at the Long Beach, California, plant of Douglas Aircraft Company, showing B-17F fuselages going through and, at right, sectional fuselage jigs in which fuselage halves are assembled from prefabricated parts. Better known as the "Flying Fortress," the B-17F is a later model B-17, which distinguished itself in action in the South Pacific, over Germany and elsewhere. It is a long range, high altitude, heavy bomber with a crew of seven to nine men and with armament sufficient to defend itself on daylight missions
