Women in industry. Tool production. Women at work for victory. These young employees of a Midwest drill and tool plant are operating cylindrical grinders which taper drills to specified size. Used in the manufacture of guns, ships, tanks and all war production where metal is used, these drills demand precise and accurate grinding. Republic Drill and Tool Company, Chicago, Illinois

Production. B-25 bombers. Nose wheels and engines for B-25 bombers ready to go to the assembly lines of a Western aircraft plant. General Doolittle, who flew in a B-25 in the raid on Tokyo, has called the ship the best military plane in existence. With plenty of speed, a 1700-mile cruising range and a ceiling of 25,000 feet, it has performed brilliantly as a medium bomber and as an escort plane. Fairfax bomber plant, Kansas City

Production. B-24 bombers and C-87 transports. Another mighty warship of the air will soon be ready for "launching." A nose door is being readied for assembly on a new consolidated transport plane at the end of the assembly line of a western aircraft plant. This new transport, an adaptation of the B-24 bomber, is known as the C-87 and carries one of the greatest human or cargo loads of any plane now in mass production. It is built in a plant equipped with one of the best air conditioning
