Woman Working in a Factory, 1940. Britain during the Second World War. 'Evening and night, whining of drills and the tap of hammers in the Spitfire factories. Only by 24-hour effort can losses be made up, and one day, god willing, can the defensive be abandoned for the offensive. Full time, overtime, double time. Keep it up, Mrs Smith, or is it Miss? For the Battle of Britain is your battle too'. From "Time To Remember - Standing Alone", 1940 (Reel 4); documentary film about events of later months of 1940.
