[Scotty 1]

High-def Kodachrome photos from 1942, with some really cool photos of workers at aircraft manufacturing plants during the war

 

Onthe website the photo’s take a little while to load, so be patient

Nice photos, thanks, Scotty, certainly high quality for the time. The link Pavel mentions where he got them is http://www.shorpy.com/image/tid/179 apparently taken for the Office of War Information, there's an images menu further down the page on the left hand side. The home page looks interesting as well, http://www.shorpy.com/, though not sure how much is aviation stuff.

 

Cheers, Willie.

I reckon the really fascinating photos are the non aviation ones there...
