VISUAL DESCRIPTION
This is a vintage collage-style advertisement for Curtiss-Wright Aircraft Limited, showcasing the various stages of aircraft manufacturing and assembly. The central image features an airplane propeller in motion, symbolizing the industry's dynamism and technological advancement. Surrounding this focal point are black-and-white photos of workers engaged in different tasks: a man operating heavy machinery, women working attentively on components of an aircraft, and another individual inspecting or repairing part of a plane. The phrase "WORK IN HAND" dominates the center in bold lettering, emphasizing the hands-on nature of the work being performed at Curtiss-Wright facilities. This ad likely dates back to World War II when war efforts significantly increased demand for military aircraft and also brought many women into industrial jobs as part of their contribution to the war effort. The overall design conveys a sense of urgency and importance surrounding aircraft production during this era while highlighting both male and female contributions to building these critical machines.
