wonderful capture of the past
Frøken Klokken
Of course they found it necessary to emphasize that the women inspectors are 'carefully trained'!

Really amazing! I am glad to see the color photo of WWII!

These parts are for Douglas C-47 (or "Dakota") cargo planes. The "innerwing" is called the "center wing" or the "wing and nacelle assembly - complete" in the Parts List for this plane. The women are inspecting the upper surfaces of the starboard nacelles.

Unusual clothing. This may be the only airplane factory photo with women wearing skirts. The one in the red jacket is wearing sandals, too. All to make it look like a pleasant workplace, I guess. Funny pose, showing a bit of leg.

This picture is great. Lots of lines kind of draw you in. And the women in their skirts seem so at odds with what they are inspecting.

I noticed the 'carefully trained' wording too. Old values there.
