    Most likely these aircraft workers were over the age of 18 when the photos were taken. That being the case, it would be more accurate to refer to each of them as a woman rather than as a girl.

    I'd bet a latte that the titles are taken word-for-word from the captions each photo was assigned at the time it was taken (or at the very least, when they were processed into the collection at the LoC). I doubt it'll come as a newsflash to anyone that things were a bit different in 1942 than they are in 2008...

    Nice lighting.

    what great lighting in this series of photos.

    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.

    It really does look like a painting - some Dutch master but instead of working in a market she's building an aeroplane.
