(11366) War Workers, UAW, Fort Knox, Tennessee, 1944

Female war production workers inspect a tank while on a visit at Fort Knox, Tennessee.

The women were part of a delegation of two hundred UAW members from Michigan, Illinois, Kentucky, Missouri, Ohio, Indiana and Wisconsin who spent three days at Fort Knox in order to to experience army life, learn how the the goods they produced are used, and to have a chance to meet with soldiers to talk over the technical problems of production. The trip was sponsored by the CIO and the UAW War Policy Department.
