In focusing on airplanes as machines we often
overlook the men who build and fly and maintain
them. I like the human element in this series.

Thank you for those pictures John.

My maternal grandmother was Handley Page's first female aircraft
inspector at the Handley Page factory where they built the Halifax
bombers. No pictures I'm afraid.

It was before my time, of course!

most welcome...

I,ve found many images of girls working in the aircraft factories
in the LIFE archives. those were just a few.

My aunt worked in the Grumman plant sewing fabric for the
control surfaces on the planes..


Not Grumman shop, but the same type of work in the Curtiss_Wright P-40
factory.
