I recently mentioned that my dad Juan Dumas and Eddy Magdaleno worked
at U.S. Rubber during WWII. Well, along that same vane,
here is a photo of 1940s women working on military aircraft at Douglas
Aircraft in Long Beach. While its not directly related to our Berendo
of the 40s it does give a little flavor of the time. I don't remember
any of our mothers or older sisters or aunts working in the defense
plants, some of you may recall some gals answering the call to duty.
If you click on the title above the photo you'll see many more fine photos of
similar situations. Mike Dumas sent this link for our viewing pleasure. I hope you enjoy them.
