Photograph of an unidentified aircraft assembly manufacturing factory assembly line, showing F-80 airplanes, ca.1945-1950. A large room with a high ceiling encloses a line of airplanes showing men next to each one who are apparently assembling them; the airplanes extend from the foreground to the background. The wings of the airplanes are being supported by metallic stands. To their right, a line of what appears to be airplane parts is viewable. The ceiling is made of a network of beams with several small lamps noticeably hanging from it.
