almost looks like a set up for a poster. expert lighting.

It's posed. The shirt is crisp from the laundry (and is too good to be wearing while working on machine tools), while her hands are unnaturally clean. Still, a nice picture.

This guy knew how to light - excellent.

husbands at war, wifes working. A period I did not know (born in 1950), but having heard so much of this. Your library is very moving, for all what it shows, and the very historical memories.

Excelente fotografía de claroscuro.Tanto la mujer como la máquina están muy bien modeladas por la luz.La posición central del motivo sugiere el carácter estático de la escena.

Excellent posed picture..hokey though because the rivets are already driven, and, more importantly, there always had to be a "bucker" holding a bucking bar tool which caused the other end of the rivet to expand. If he were really driving a rivet by himself, his left hand would have to be holding the bucking bar on the other side of the skin/rib. Neal

love this colors!

Salvage was so critically important. You are talking about a period of time when people were saving bacon grease for the war effort. We could learn some lessons about re-use from WWII

when i was a kid during ww ii, we salvaged everything from string to the foil from gum wrappers and cigarette packages

wow one of my favorites..

Wow! My dad worked for Douglas in later years. Love this photo!

Now we know where Lady Gaga got her start. Seriously, this is an amazing photo, especially in context.
