Production. Aircraft engines. Typifying American democracy at work, four soldiers of the production front assemble an airplane engine for Uncle Sam's soldiers of the battlefront. In this, as in other war factories throughout the U.S., prejudice pertaining to differences of race, creed or color have been scrapped by those who recognize that victory must have priority over intolerance. These four men are assembling cylinder barrels to an engine in a giant Midwest aviation plant. Melrose Park, Buick plant

Production. Aircraft engines. A skilled mechanic and determined war worker, Zed W. Robinson, proves that skin pigment bears no relation to efficiency of work. He's one of many Negroes employed in a large Midwest aircraft plant in skilled and semi-skilled capacity. Tightening bolts of a cylinder barrel during the final build-up of an airplane engine is one of the jobs which, until fairly recently, was closed to members of his race. But this war demands that no American because of race, creed or color shall be barred from work. Melrose Park, Buick plant
