Women flight mechanics are working for the R. A. F. in Flying training Command
Women flight mechanics are working for the R.A.F. in Flying training Command. Each aircraft is inspected every 24 hours and thoroughly overhauled after it has flown a stipulated time. During these inspections the airwomen check up on the filling of fuel and oil tanks, check over the controls and start up and run the engines on the ground. Then they sign the certificate of airworthiness. They take- their share too, in the more detailed routine overhaul - and are required to do any repairs that come within their physical scope. For this work, which they undertake side by side with the R.A.F. they naturally have lengthy training. Finally, they fly with the pilot to test the aircraft which they have serviced. Before the test flight a W.A.A.F. flight mechanic inspects the under-carriage, wheels, air pressure, hydraulic valves, controls, oil level and the pilots safety belt.

EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photo print, we are transported back to the year 1941, where a group of remarkable women flight mechanics can be seen diligently working for the R. A. F. in Flying Training Command. With unwavering dedication and expertise, these trailblazing airwomen ensure that each aircraft is meticulously inspected every 24 hours and undergoes a thorough overhaul after reaching its stipulated flying time. As they go about their duties, these skilled individuals take on various responsibilities with utmost precision. From checking fuel and oil tanks to scrutinizing controls and starting up engines on the ground, they leave no stone unturned in ensuring the safety and airworthiness of each aircraft. Their commitment extends beyond inspections as well; they actively participate in routine overhauls and undertake repairs within their physical capabilities. To accomplish such vital work alongside their male counterparts, these extraordinary women have undergone extensive training. They possess not only technical prowess but also demonstrate exceptional teamwork by collaborating side by side with the R. A. F. Furthermore, it is awe-inspiring to witness how these W. A. A. F. flight mechanics even fly with pilots to test the very aircraft they have serviced—a testament to their competence and trustworthiness. At day's end, we see them gathered together watching one of the planes they have worked on taking off into the skies—an embodiment of pride and accomplishment for these dedicated professionals who played an integral role in keeping Britain's aviation industry soaring during wartime challenges. This evocative image serves as a powerful reminder of the invaluable contributions made by women like them throughout history—breaking barriers, defying stereotypes, and leaving an indelible mark on our collective memory.
