My wife’s uncle married a British War bride who during the war did Spitfire repairs by day and ran the spotlights at night during German bombing runs over London and other areas. She’s buried in a small family cemetery in Louisiana. At her interment the VFW Honor Guard gave her a 21 Gun Salute in farewell. She was a man’s woman.

I had heard most women then, made more money than they ever had in their lives. Most were house wives, I believe. Just wondering if capitalism could hold up if money ran out.

Got all kinds of on the job training because most of the lab tech's were in the military. Normally it would take several years to work up the ladder to that position but they were very short handed due to the war. Friend of mine's mom spent the war assembling Norden Bombsights.

Too bad we targeted the wrong genocidal totalitarian regime menacing Europe during "The War to Save Bolshevism."
