More beautiful side of war

And here's a song about her.

Rosie the Riveter
By Redd Evans and John Jacob Loeb

All the day long,
Whether rain or shine,
She's a part of the assembly line.
She's making history,
Working for victory,
Rosie the Riveter.
Keeps a sharp lookout for sabotage,
Sitting up there on the fuselage.
That little girl will do more than a male will do.
Rosie's got a boyfriend, Charlie.
Charlie, he's a Marine.
Rosie is protecting Charlie,
Working overtime on the riveting machine
When they gave her a production "E",
She was as proud as she could be,
There's something true about,
Red, white, and blue about,
Rosie the Riveter.

There are some colour photos - and many other photos/pictures - on this site:

P.S. Sorry to revive an old thread - but I thought that I would keep the colour photos together in one place.

No apologies necessary. To see even a couple colour photos I've never seen before is always welcome. Thanks !

You’re welcome Don. There are a few more colour photos in the ‘Axis History Forum’. This 37-page thread is a good example (Warning: Image heavy):
