I'm trying to locate any available historical information, including photos, regarding Federal Aviation. A facility located on Superior Ave. in Cleveland, OH during WWII. My mother worked there as a welder working on airplane wings. To date my searches have been unsuccessful. Any help with be greatly appreciated. I am working on putting together a video timeline of my mother's life for her upcoming 90th birthday, and this her work at this facility is a significant part of her home front service during the war. Thanks.

Start with a search of city and county clerks registrys including old property tax records that should list the adress of the place. With that info, prowl the area around the old plant site (unless it's now a suburban sprawl of newer houses and Malls) looking for old timy folks who may have worked there or who might know the guy who married the gal.........
Also contact the local historical society or museum, if nothing else, you might score a photo of the place.

Also check with the newspaper. They probably have their archives on microfiche.
