EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the bustling production of B-24 bombers and C-87 transports at the Consolidated Aircraft Corp. in Fort Worth, Texas during 1942. Taken by Howard Hollem, a talented photographer of that era, this image provides a glimpse into the vital role played by American women in the country's war effort during World War II. In this particular scene, we see Cabbie Coleman, a former housewife turned factory worker at the western aircraft plant. With determination and skill, she is shown installing oxygen racks above the flight deck of one of these magnificent planes. Her presence symbolizes the significant contribution made by women to support their nation's military endeavors. The photograph showcases not only an important moment in history but also highlights themes such as gender equality and industrial progress. It serves as a reminder that women were essential members of America's workforce during wartime. Howard Hollem masterfully captured this still image with vibrant colors that bring to life both the machinery and human spirit behind these incredible flying machines. Preserved by Heritage Images and housed within the Library of Congress collection, this photograph stands as a testament to American ingenuity and resilience during one of its most challenging periods. As we reflect on this remarkable piece from our past, it reminds us how ordinary individuals like Cabbie Coleman played extraordinary roles in shaping our world today through their dedication and hard work.
