 WOMEN AT WORK ON THE WINGS OF VICTORY 



The planes of a flying machine are covered with a special quality of Irish linen, which is 

 stitched tightly over the framework by women seated on opposite sides of the plane and 

 using three-inch needles. The British Government has promised that linen in sufficient quan- 

 tities will be supplied to the United States as rapidly as needed to complete our airplane- 

 building program (see page 55 s ).
