These pop up from time to time. Always worth looking at again. The little girls in picture 3 are wearing dresses made from feed sacks. Feed was sold in bags made of printed cotton that were used for all sorts of sewing projects by farm wives.

Every time I see the photo of the young lady testing a wire loom at the Vega plant, I wounder if she had a hand in the Lockheed PV2D Harpoon we used to fly?
