Girls Take Civilian Positions In Sub Depot At Flying Field
Tucson women fill civilian roles at the Davis Monthan Field sub depot supplying army air force aircraft parts in the Southwest. Major O D Thompson says the effort will soon be fully feminized, freeing men for combat duty as over a quarter of the 160 employees are now women. They handle stock, issue equipment, and support the Marana training center with a new sub sub depot to be established there.
