Label on back: "Partnership for preparedness. Long Beach, Calif. As America's aircraft and automotive industries throw into high gear their partnership in production for preparedness, vitally-needed airplane subassemblies are flowing from Midwestern manufacturing centers to West Coast aircraft plants. Photo shows the first attack-bomber wing section built by Murray Body, Detroit, as it was unloaded in the receiving building of Douglas Aircraft Company's blackout plant here. In the same car were adjoining sections from Briggs Mfg. Co., Detroit. Within another few hours military transport wings were received from Pullman-Standarad Car Mfg. Co., Chicago. At left, George R. Tulloch, assistant manager of the blackout factory, congratulates J.E. Harling, Murray representative at Douglas. Several hundred cars like that shown, specially-equipped with end doors, raised roof, steel floors, and racks to which subassemblies can be bolted without crating, will speed airplane sections across the continent in 'shuttle' trains operating on passenger schedules. Pioneer in thus utilizing for national defense the resources and personnel of the automotive industry, Douglas has tapped this production reservoir on a huge scale for its recently-dedicated Long Beach plant and an additional assembly plant, the fourth Douglas unit, now rising rapidly at Tulsa, Okla.
