ParkerI made the mistake of buying this book thinking I would learn something about how they built aircraft in World War II. I was wrong. This book is full of great photos; but the captions dont explain what is going on in the photos. They talk about "Rosie" herself; her problems getting a babysitter; and other human-interest matters; but nothing of any significance on manufacturing aircraft. For the reader interested in the personal life of "Rosie the Riveter;" its a good purchase. Otherwise no.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. Very good book about women in the Long Beach aircraft plant of Douglas AircraftBy MAHVery good book about women in the Long Beach aircraft plant of Douglas Aircraft. My mother was one of the "Rosies" who worked there. I use this book in genealogy research.2 of 2 people found the following review helpful. A nice pictoral history of women WWII aircraft workersBy BillHPeriod photos like this are always fascinating and the bit of history of women workers in the So. Cal. aircraft industry in WWII is very interesting. I do wish that the author/publisher had taken the time to have someone with more technical expertise in aircraft and aircraft production of the period review the work prior to publication. There are some embarrassing gaffes revealing the authors lack of knowledge in this area.
