  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!

• Nicola Hunt said:

  this is outstanding...i also noticed the details of her appearence as well as the clear reflection and sharp focus...this is just so rad to have on flickr!

• Liz Rizzo said:

• Descriptive Bottle said:

  What an amazing time captured on film forever!

• kenorland said:

  Okay, they never taught us that black women also worked as Rosie. What a crime of omission! So cool to see this.

• kayteego said:

  I like the undercurrent of red in this picture. The writing on that machinery almost looks like it was written in her lipstick...I wish.

John Reed

• Pix by Kel said:

  Love his expression in comparison with the others. He has a "screw you, pigs" look on his face!

• Juan Antonio Armijo Gaete said:

  Yeah, tough guy!

• S. D said:

  his expression says "i dont know what that machine is but I aint looking at it"

• Stuart said:

  All the same, he dosen't have that 'brutalised' look you see in many of today's young scumbags. At least John Reed looks human!
