this is a wonderful shot! and the colors- were they restored?
I was trying to think of a tag that said something like "beginning of women's liberation movement" but more concise- ideas? -

Excellent photo! Love the colors. It blows my mind how this photo survived with great colors! I enjoy the color match of her lipstick and the pen in her hand. I also like the history..how people dressed back then and actually "dolled" up for work like this woman in the 40's.

At first I was unconvinced as I couldn't find any images of an SNC-1 showing that round access hatch, but I did finally find one at: www.wisbechaeroclub.co.uk/Scale Drawings/images/C/Curtiss SNC-1 Falcon/Curtiss SNC-1 Falcon (1).jpg although now I'm left confused about the tail number :)
