Back Home With Ernie Pyle on Nebraska Riveters in California
Ernie Pyle profiles three Nebraska aviation hopefuls Edwin and Don Boddye and Don Graut who arrived in Los Angeles four days earlier pursuing aircraft industry jobs. They secured a first shift at Vultee Aircraft, endured tourist camps, found a cramped $26 month apartment, and tackled long commutes, previews of optimism amid the city’s high living costs and tough hiring. The men, their Midwest farming background, aircraft schooling, and drive to break into rivetology anchor a hopeful chapter as Southern California tempts them to stay.
