People Inspecting Part of an Aeroplane, 1942. Britain during the Second World War. "...the girl that makes the thing that holds the oil that oils the ring that drives the shank that moves the crank that works the thing-ummy-bob. It's a ticklish sort of job making a thing for a thing-ummy-bob, especially when you don't know what it's for. But it's the girl that makes the thing that drills the hole that holds the ring that makes the thing-ummy-bob that makes the engines roar". Lyric from "The Thing-ummy-Bob [That's Going To Win The War]", a song celebrating the female production-line workers. From "Time To Remember - The End Of The Beginning", 1942 (Reel 1); documentary film about events of 1942 and America's entry into the war.
