Some Awesome WWII Plane Factory Pictures- High Quality
I figured some of you WWII buffs may like these pictures. Pretty damn cool looking. This is the article, not written by me of course.




WWII Airplane Factories - Kodachrome 4x5 Pictures

Back in the mid '70s when I was working at Hellers Camera in Bethesda Md. I had a reference book with a color photo of the battleship Pennsylvania in an advanced base sectional dock, somewhere in the Pacific in about 1944. The quality of the photo made it clear that it was shot with a large format camera, which puzzled me since I did not think Kodachrome (the only modern color film of the time in the US) was available in sheet films. A guy I worked with was an old Kodak hand (and WWII vet, a radioman in Europe) and told me that they did have sheet Kodachrome, and that there was only one machine to process the film, located in Rochester. The exposed film was sent there for processing.
And note the almost complete lack of basic safety equipment. I saw only one pair of safety glasses, and only a few of the workers were wearing gloves. Working without gloves around sheet metal is an injury waiting to happen.

Notice most of the woman had lip stick and nail polish on. WWII could not have been won without the woman of America stepping into men's shoes to build the equipment needed to defeat the axis powers.

Fascinating! Some of these images are 70 years old and look as fresh as ever. If someone had told any of the subjects in thesephotos that we'd have such a clear look at them in the year 2012.

If you gave those three women a modern "spa day" they'd knock your socks off.

Momma don't take my Kodachrome away


Shot a roll last year; had it processed at Dewayne's in Kansas. Alas, no more Kodachrome.

Those are very cool photos, but it's clear that most of them were staged and carefully lit. There were multiple lighting sources set up very carefully and those girls were holding still! The reason the gals were all dolled up is that they did it for the photos...they didn't work in full cosmetics every day.
