Title	Interior of the Douglas Company's Santa Monica Plant, showing wing sections for bombers, ca.1940
Description	Photograph of the interior of the Douglas Company's Santa Monica Plant, showing wing sections for bombers, ca.1940. Several men gather around a line of plane wings, with one man sticking his head into a hole (for bombing purposes?) in the first wing. Each wing is set atop a platform made of wood and metal, and a man crouches by a device on the floor propped against one of these, at left. A path lined with stripes of paint appears at right, and the lights from lamps shine overhead.; Photoprint reads: "Wing sections for swift and formidable attack-bombers moving down production lines of the Douglas Company's huge Santa Monica plant".
