Hello this is a bit late for your veterans day but you might find it interesting as it shows people at home in WW2 buiding bombers, fighters etc. for the forces, and other pictures of the times. I hope you find it interesting if only for a flashback to different times. I liked the construction shots of the planes, mostly female work force of course at that time.

This second site also has some interesting photos of the same period and purpose. (Check out what a dump 1942, it may well bring a tear to your eye.)

Outstanding, thanks Garry

 

An excellent set of pics, thanks for posting! It's hard to believe how many men we lost in that war, nowadays public opinion would shut down any effort that resulted in that much bloodshed.

 

Thanks for the pictures and thanks to my Russian education, I was able to read the site in Russian.

 

Cool pics.

 

Very, very nice. Thanks.
