1. United States. Office for Emergency Management. The Airacobra assembly line at Bell Aircraft's new Niagara Falls plant. An endless chain conveyor sunk into the floor provides constant motion of the line. Six such lines will be in operation at the plant in winter. Simplicity is the feature of this assembly line system developed for production experts at Bell Aircraft. There are fourteen stations on the line. Parts are manufactured at the original Bell Aircraft plan in Buffalo and conveyed to Niagara Falls, thirteen miles away, in special trailer trucks. The front fuselage section swings into the conveyor production line on individual dollies at one end of the plant. At Station No. 5 the Allison V-type engine and drive shaft are installed. As the dolly moves up the line the cabin is attached; then the rear fuselage section is swung into place, after which comes armor plate, armament, propeller, and then the fuselage is ready for the wings which are taking shape in a department running parallel to the assembly line [between 1940 and 1946]

4. Hollem, Howard R. Production. B-24 bombers and C-87 transports. A tail fuselage for a consolidated B-24 bomber is being lowered to place in a fuselage meting fixture at a Western aircraft plant. Here, tail fuselage, wing center section and nose section are joined. This bomber carries a heavy bomb load and is capable of operation at high altitudes and over great ranges for high-accuracy boming missions. It is built in a plant equipped with one of the best air conditioning and fluorescent lighting systems in the country 1942 Oct

9. Palmer, Alfred T. Production. A-31 ("Vengeance") dive bombers. Lunch time. Here's a group of women workers relaxing by their work--a fuselage section of "Vengeance" dive bomber made at Vultee's Nashville Division--and enjoying a well-earned lunch. The "Vengeance" (A-31) was originally designed for the French. It was later adopted by the RAF (Royal Air Force) and still later by the U.S. Army Air Forces. It is a single-engine, low-wing plane, carrying a crew of two men and having six machine guns of varying calibers 1943 Feb
