War Effort week continues this Wednesday with this picture of a Woman Working. The picture was taken in 1942. It was made at the North American Aviation, Inc.'s Inglewood, California, factory. The woman in assembling a B-25 bomber engine. In looking at these pictures this week I was sort of saddened by how little manufacturing is done in this country any more. It feels like almost all of these jobs have been shipped overseas. For all the economic problems we are facing, and all the different ways you can try and assign blame, I think it all comes down to this: we will never recover unless we actually start making things again.
