Haha, I'm aware of the situation. It was a joke.

Many thanks for posting those outstanding photos.

I figured it probably was. But nowadays it's kinda hard to imagine women building airplanes, big radial engines, guns of all kinds, running lathes and mills, welding, and on and on. A lot of younger people these days think you're nuts if you try to tell them these things. Many may be shocked at some of the stuff their own ancestors did that they've never heard of.

Those pics are awesome! I found 2 news papers from V-E Day, at my moms today.
