In this photograph from 1943, WAVES are in the midst of a four-month training course at NATTC, Norman, Oklahoma. They are receiving training that will let them become Aviation Metalsmiths to maintain Naval airplanes.

The photograph comes from the National Archives.

    I had no idea they even trained in metalsmithing. I’m learning a lot from your photos about homefront WWII history…
