Hahaha! They're both good friends of mine and I'm sure she'd be flattered.

One thing that usually escapes notice is evident in photo #1 in the B-25, that young lady is using an electric drill to build that airplane. It probably weighs around 4 lbs, has a god awful heavy and single minded cord, and they got very, very hot!
Be sure and keep that in mind as you use your 1 1/2 lb. SIOUX air motor to drill out those 63 year old rivets and marvel at the tenacity of those beautiful ladies who swung those drills for 10 and 12 hours a day, 6 days a week for around 96 cents an hour.

DEFINITELY A KEEPER!
I will never finish at this rate, but ALL these great pictures keep making my point... If they could make them... we can (and MUST) develop the skills to restore them.

I had one Idjit say, "Yeah, I've wanted to do a sheetmetal training session but let's wait until AFTER we get TEXAS RAIDERS flying!
Uh... yeah... Let me get back with you on that!

Best line in the film. "women scare me."
... yeah... they would scare me too if I watched this film in mixed company.
I get my back end kicked!

Is it just me, or does the guy second from the left look an awful lot like Sandy Koufax?

I've been impressed by the photos posted by Armyjunk. A co-worker picked out his mom (who's now 94) in a group photo with the 10,000th Hellcat wing made at Grumman's Port Washington facility.
