    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!

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