Production. B-17F heavy bombers. The brute force of a mighty plane engine, over a thousand horsepower, will strain at the bolt holes drilled by this girl worker in an engine bulkhead for a wing spar of a B-17F heavy bomber. She works in the Long Beach, California, plant of Douglas Aircraft Company.
