View of a woman test cell observer at a Chevrolet plant; man sits on chair at workstation. Label on back: "Chevrolet, girl test cell observer, (4682), for Automotive Council. Helping to speed aircraft engines to the fighting flyers who need them American women merit praise for their contributions to the nation's ever-mounting air might. In a Chevrolet plant producing Pratt & Whitney aircraft engines for bombers and cargo planes, this girl is a test cell observer, charting performance characteristics of the big radial engines this General Motors division is producing at a steadily increasing pace. Rigorous testing standards must be met by these engines, under the watchful eyes of observers and technicians who help to 'keep 'em flying' by producing 'power for the wings of victory.'" Handwritten on back: "Women workers."
