Production. B-25 "Billy Mitchell" bombers. The metal structure for a rudder on a B-25 bomber is assembled by North American employees in the control surface department at Inglewood, California. The part will next move to the covering department for its fabric cover. Women are fast taking the places of men in this department. In addition to the battle-tested B-25 ("Billy Mutchell") bomber used in General Doolittle's raid on Tokyo, this plant produces the P-51 "Mustang" fighter plane which was first brought into prominence by the British raid on Dieppe
