Production. B-17F heavy bombers. This girl in a glass house is putting finishing touches on the bombardier nose section of a B-17F heavy bomber. She's one of many capable women workers in the Long Beach, California, plant of the Douglas Aircraft Company. 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.

Production. B-24 bombers and C-87 transports. A two-girl riveting crew putting the skin on a nose extension of a big consolidated transport plane in a Western plant. The riveter working from the outside was a home girl before she took up war work. The helper, bucking the rivets from the inside of the nose, kept house for two brothers who have since entered service. The plane they are helping to make will carry one of the greatest human or cargo loads of any plane now in mass production.
