Photograph of four men working inside the Lockheed Corporation plant, ca.1945. Four men work on a metal wall with many components, at left. One man crouches in the foreground, wearing a jacket with the "Lockheed" label at the back, while a man in a dark shirt stands behind him. Further down, a man stands on a box to fix something on a higher level, while another man bends as though looking for something in the background behind him.
