EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures a moment in history during the Second World War. Two determined women workers are depicted meticulously capping and inspecting tubing at Vultees Nashville division in Tennessee, 1943. The tubing they handle is an essential component used in the production of the renowned "Vengeance" (A-31) dive bomber. Originally designed for the French military, this formidable aircraft later found its place with both the Royal Air Force and the United States Army Air Forces. With its sleek design, single-engine power, low-wing structure, and six machine guns of varying calibers, it became a symbol of strength on the battlefield. Alfred T Palmer's lens beautifully captures these blue-collar heroines as they contribute to America's war effort. Their dedication and skill shine through as they work diligently inside this bustling airplane industry plant. The image not only showcases their important role but also represents a significant era in American history. It serves as a reminder of how women played an integral part in supporting their country during times of conflict. Preserved by the Library of Congress' Farm Security Administration collection, this still image stands as a testament to our nation's industrial might during that pivotal decade. Alfred T Palmer's photography immortalizes these unsung heroes who worked tirelessly behind-the-scenes to ensure victory for their countrymen fighting overseas.
