Men and woman are working on military aircraft in Big Douglas plant. im not that surprised because woman always made things for the war, i just never knew woman helped out with military aircraft
ReplyDeleteThey were creating weapons to use in war. these weapons are new, and women played a big part in creating them.
ReplyDeleteThe man and woman were working on a military aircraft. And I dont really have a reaction towards this I mean I feel like if a woman wants to work on a military aircraft so be it. I want to be a pilot but there arent a lot of female pilots. So I'm all for woman working on aircraft and such.
ReplyDeleteMen and women are working on a military airplane. Im not surprised at all i mean while the men were at war the women worked to make things for war all the time. I mean you can't be surprised cause if the women didn't work while men were at war we would not have weapons for war
ReplyDeleteI think the picture is pretty amazing. it shows the growth the country has been through. The man and woman are working together on something important and crucial to the war.
ReplyDeleteNew weapons were essential to the war & women are begging to play a bigger roll in production of new and bigger products.
ReplyDeleteIt shows something that, at the time, had become common, women had begun to work 'men's jobs because a lot of the men in the country were at war. It was our countries way of compensating for the lack of people available to work and it helped women keep their families going while their husband and/or sons were gone.
ReplyDeleteit became common for men and women working together, ecspecially at the time of war.
ReplyDeleteIt seems like it a lazer not a military aircraft.
ReplyDelete*It is *Laser
DeleteIt shows that women are becoming bigger in things people thought only men could do like building military weapons to send to war.
ReplyDeleteWhen I first looked at the photo I thought it was a giant laser but as I looked at it I realized it was a plane engine

ReplyDeleteThis picture has a man and a woman working together to build a military aircraft. I did not have a powerful reaction about seeing his picture, but I first thought "what are they building?" Then I read the title and realized that they were building an aircraft. I have never seen the inside of the aircraft, so I was amazed at how the inside of the aircraft actually looked like.
ReplyDeleteAt this time it was common for women to do mens jobs. So it doesn't surprise me to see women working on it too. It was lack of hands due to people going off in the military. Women had to stack back and support the family life,
ReplyDeleteLook like a laser Iziah Hines

ReplyDeleteThey're working on a military plane engine, it looks like. I don't have much of an opinion on this photo seeing as though there isn't much detail behind it.

ReplyDeleteMen and women joined together to work on making a vital military aircraft at the big Douglas plant in Long Beach California. i knew that men worked and did construction for war, but I always thought that women were nurses, but that pictured opened my eyes to something new.
ReplyDeleteIt shows that a woman is helping fix or repair a engine of a plane because men's were at war at the time. Some men's were not at war at the time to help women's work.
