Whoa! What an incredible image. I am SO glad to see that Black women worked on aircraft, too. I love her nail polish, and her ring. I'd LOVE to know her name, if she's still alive. This is such an outstanding portrait!
Nicola Hunt said:

Okay, they never taught us that black women also worked as Rosie. What a crime of omission! So cool to see this.
