Amplify: Why I’m seeking out lesser-known stories of wartime
JANUARY 28, 1944 -- VICTORY AIRCRAFT SOLVES OUTPUT AND PERSONNEL PROBLEMS -- More than 16 miles of wiring goes into a Canadian-built Lancaster four-engined bomber, the biggest military aircraft made in the Empire. The wiring at the back of this huge instrument board would bewilder the average person but to this young woman it's no mystery and just part of an important war job. The Lancaster bomber assembly-line at Victory Aircraft Ltd. is located in Malton, Ontario. This facility, formerly owned by National Steel Car Corp., was taken over by the government in November 1942 in order to facilitate aircraft production. The resultant crown corporation, "Victory Aircraft" later became A.V. Roe Canada Ltd. (Avro Canada). Credit: The Globe and Mail Originally published January 31, 1944, page A4.
