When so much of the war was in grainy black and white.

While most of the photos seem to have been done at Douglas and North American plants in southern California in 1942, Shulman’s Market was in Washington DC and its long gone.

Thanks Art-J for confirming that.

What’s the plane in the 6th photo down with the crowd around it? Early-model Mustang?
Most probably. Distinctive canopy opening mechanism, the only well visible detail on the photo, would indicate an early Mustang indeed.

Would be interesting to have a then and now comparison with Shulman’s Market.
Anyone care to guess what the Woman is doing with the glass jars? Presumably that’s still aircraft production.

Nice Kodachrome, dumb PR photos (for the most part).
I’m sure some of the ‘Rosies’ are models, too many of them have lovely manicured hands to have been tinkering with aero engines and using rivet guns long hours!
