Factory Workers Inspecting a Spitfire Under Construction, 1940. Britain during the Second World War. 'Evening and night, whining of drills and the tap of hammers in the Spitfire factories. Only by 24-hour effort can losses be made up, and one day, god willing, can the defensive be abandoned for the offensive. Full time, overtime, double time'. From "Time To Remember - Standing Alone", 1940 (Reel 4); documentary film about events of later months of 1940.
