Women changing a tyre on a truck during World War II 1939

  • Vesna Verencevic said:
    July 1940 in Brisbane alone there were six different organisations providing women with war-related training, the largest of which was the Queensland-based Women's National Emergency Legion. The federal government and military did not initially support women being trained to serve in the armed forces, however, and these organisations were not taken seriously by the general public. Many of these women were trained to undertake skilled work in traditionally male occupations in order to free servicemen for operational service. Women were also encouraged to work in industry and volunteer for air raid precautions duties or clubs for Australian and Allied servicemen. The female branches of the military were disbanded after the war. Source: www.wikiwand.com/en/Australian_women_during_World_War_II

    Great photo, but does it really take three men to inspect one wheel?
  • AV8TER said:
    If your life depended on it how many people would you want inspecting it?
  • Graeme Smith said:
    Wow, those of seriously big wheels!
  • Fantastical Quill said:
    Hi, I'm an admin for a group called Ypsilanti, and we'd love to have this added to the group!
  • D. Miller said:
    They're inspecting the landing gear for a Ford built B-24 Liberator. Ford built B-24's under contract from Consolidated Aircraft. Willow Run was and still is located just outside of Ypsilanti, Michigan. The assembly facility was owned and operated by Ford.
