    The lady is DRILLING not riviting. This looks like the decking for something other than the A-20.

    looks like she's in the wing behind the engine mount (nacelle)
  • bad_idea_dinosaur said:
    I believe the process of riveting requires one drill a hole first.
  • Kary Nieuwenhuis said:
    Whats more important? Drilling? Riveting? or brown shoes, blue socks and a maroon pants.
  • james gallagher said:
    definitely the hair net, but I was really pulling for the shoes. gives a very clear sense of scope and scale of the operation, ....those drills were not like tools we have today. I am struck.

    I realize that these photos were taken pre-OSHA, but shouldn't these women be wearing boots in this industrial setting?
  • bf53490 said:
    It looks like this lady was more into fashion than actually worried about safety or dropping some heavy piece of metal on her feet. She is seen earlier in a closeup as well. Makes me wonder if she was an aspiring model or an actual model?

    Hi, I'm an admin for a group called Sitting portraits, and we'd love to have this added to the group!
  • Le yeux sans visage said:
    She's gotta be a model - no one working long hours can look like this!

    Women took better care of themselves back then than they do today.

    Hi, I'm an admin for a group called Face Time, and we'd love to have your photo added to the group. this would make a wonderful contribution to facetime.

    Wow! The old black & white photos that we mostly see of this era don't convey the beauty of people in that time. She's a beauty. I wish women today took care to dress up like this before they go into work.

    Thanks for putting up these photos, they are beautiful. I love this photographer's work.

    Unusual wooden pin with red lips, might be african or carribean? It just reflects the red on her lips as well and against the red vest looks great.
