EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print captured by Howard Hollem in Corpus Christi, Texas, in 1942, we witness the invaluable contribution of women to our nation's needs during World War II. Amidst a backdrop of aircraft and bustling activity at the Naval Air Base, two remarkable women stand out as shining examples of dedication and skill. On the left stands Mrs. Cora Ann Bowen, wife of a disabled World War I veteran. Undeterred by her husband's sacrifice for his country, she fearlessly takes on the role of a cowler at the base. With precision and expertise, she ensures that our country's planes remain in top-notch fighting condition. Beside her is Mrs. Eloise J. Ellis, an inspiring figure who has risen to become a senior supervisor in the Assembly and Repairs department at the base. Her leadership skills and technical knowledge are instrumental in maintaining high standards within this crucial division. This image not only captures their individual achievements but also symbolizes the collective efforts of countless women across America during this pivotal era. Breaking gender barriers with determination and resilience, these trailblazers prove that no task is beyond their capabilities. Howard Hollem masterfully portrays this significant moment where patriotism meets progressiveness through his lens. As we gaze upon this photograph today, it serves as a powerful reminder of how women played an integral role in shaping our nation's history while keeping our skies safe during one of humanity's darkest hours.
