  That would be a C47.

• Ari Braginsky said:

  Nice lighting.

• Jim Plumb said:

  what great lighting in this series of photos.

• perfgeek said:

  I agree with docwatson - that isn't the cockpit of a B-25, but looks rather like part of the cockpit of the DC-3/C-47.

• Brian Burger said:

  Have to agree it doesn't look like a B-25 - compare the window outlines here to the ones on the right-hand side of this picture further down the photostream.

  Rosie the Riveter has nothing on this woman! She looks pretty tough!

• Descriptive Bottle said:

  I am so inspired by what these women did!

• treebythesea said:

  That is so awesome! I feel like more of that should be going on today.

• hallowed ink said:

  I love the look on her face...

  This title may as well say Women "can be" trained! It's so subtly of its era.
