I missed out on a tour of Fifi back in the mid 90's when I was working on my private pilot license. Didn't know she was at the airport until I was getting ready for my flight and in hindsight, I should have postponed it just to get a chance to be on that beautiful piece of machinery.
Somewhere I have a link to hundreds, if not thousands, of Kodachrome images of the work: machining, fabrication, and wiring done by those women back in WWII. I'm kind of a machinery geek and it's mindblowing to see the machines I've only known with decades of dirt, surface rust and patina, shown brand-new and gleaming.
