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

    I believe the process of riveting requires one drill a hole first.

    Whats more important? Drilling? Riveting? or brown shoes, blue socks and a maroon pants.

    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.

    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.
