  • Kuvaus: The women work in a hangar assembling the aircraft. Some of the women are in the Women's Army Auxiliary Corps. They make the wooden frames for the aircraft wings, then attach the fabric. A group of them wheels out the fuselage of a BE2. Outside the hangar, other women make final checks on a Sopwith 1-1/2 Strutter, tightening the wires. The engine cowling is also checked over. The pilot starts up the engine and the women hold onto the aircraft's tail to enable it to build up power.
