EDITORS COMMENTS
Frances Eggleston, a 23-year-old from Oklahoma, showcases her skills as an aeronautical engineer at Consolidated Aircraft Corp. in Fort Worth, Texas during the Second World War. In this photo captured by Howard Hollem, we witness Frances diligently removing paper from a pilot's window using precise tools and techniques. As part of the war effort in the 1940s, women like Frances played crucial roles in supporting America's military operations. Breaking gender stereotypes and defying societal norms, these female engineers made significant contributions to the aviation industry. With determination and expertise, Frances dons her overalls and confidently wields a rivet gun while working on aircraft production. Her dedication exemplifies the spirit of countless women who stepped into traditionally male-dominated professions during this era. This remarkable image not only captures an important moment in history but also symbolizes resilience and progress. It serves as a reminder of how individuals like Frances helped shape our nation's heritage through their unwavering commitment to their jobs. Preserved by the Library of Congress' Farm Security Administration collection, Howard Hollem's photograph stands as a testament to the ingenuity and strength displayed by American workers during wartime. It is an enduring tribute to those who contributed to technological advancements that continue to impact air transport today.
