Drilling horizontal stabilizers: operating a hand drill, this woman worker at Vultee-Nashville is shown working on the horizontal stabilizer for a Vultee Vengeance dive bomber, Tennessee. The Vengeance (A-31) was originally designed for the French. Although the image of "Rosie the Riveter" reflected the industrial work of welders and riveters, the majority of working women filled non-factory positions in every sector of the economy. Photographed by Alfred T. Palmer, 1943.
