Wow! Fantastic shot of a real "Rosie the Riveter" in action. Just reminds us how important the female workforce outside the home became in the 40s, and how women helped to win the war!

Very nice--but it's not a hand drill, it's an electric drill.

Perhaps a hand held rivet gun and not an electric drill. Holes in skin panels like the one in the photo were drilled or punched by large machine tools, not with hand held tools.
