Each photo is 500 KB to 700 KB.



Check out the photo captioned (about number 26 down the page):
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"October 1942. "Thousands of North American Aviation employees at
Inglewood, California, look skyward as the bomber and fighter planes
they helped build perform overhead during a lunch period air show.
This plant produces the battle-tested B-25 'Billy Mitchell' bomber,
used in General Doolittle's raid on Tokyo, and the P-51 'Mustang'
fighter plane, which was first brought into prominence by the British
raid on Dieppe."

Lots of black bags under those folks' eyes. They look like they are
busting ass working long hours on not much sleep. Factory probably
going non-stop 24/7.
