Production. Aircraft engines. She used to be a librarian, now she inspects aircraft parts. Prior to Alma Jean Vincent's employment in a large Midwestern aircraft plant, she managed the junior book section of a suburban library. She had also been an assistant buyer of sportswear, but this lack of industrial experience seems to have been no handicap for her present job of visual gauge operator, inspecting airplane motor parts. With only six months of war work behind her, she's more than meeting plant requirements for speed and precision. Melrose Park, Buick plant

Production. Aircraft engines. Typifying American democracy at work, four soldiers of the production front assemble an airplane engine for Uncle Sam's soldiers of the battlefront. In this, as in other war factories throughout the U.S., prejudice pertaining to differences of race, creed or color have been scrapped by those who recognize that victory must have priority over intolerance. These four men are assembling cylinder barrels to an engine in a giant Midwest aviation plant. Melrose Park, Buick plant

Production. Aircraft engines. A skilled mechanic and determined war worker, Zed W. Robinson, proves that skin pigment bears no relation to efficiency of work. He's one of many Negroes employed in a large Midwest aircraft plant in skilled and semi-skilled capacity. Tightening bolts of a cylinder barrel during the final build-up of an airplane engine is one of the jobs which, until fairly recently, was closed to members of his race. But this war demands that no American because of race, creed or color shall be barred from work. Melrose Park, Buick plant
