Photoplay (Jul - Dec 1943)

BEHIND 6/tc \~}tvl ON THE COVER Scene at Douglas Aircraft: Olivia de Havilland being posed for Photoplay's cover by artist Paul Hesse CEE Olivia de Havilland at Mocambo and watch the men watch her. See her at the Hollywood Canteen and catch the look in the eyes of servicemen when they catch a look at her. But see her on Photoplay's cover this month and know that thousands of men, unknown to her, unseen by her, are thanking her for what she is doing here. They are the men in the tundras of the Aleutians, in the sandpits of Africa, in the jungles of the South Pacific, your brother, your husband, your son. They are cheering her silently today because she is, in this cover portrait, an example of what American women can do to help keep America, the land of these fighting men, alive for them. Olivia de Havilland poses here as a woman employed as an airport mechanic. She has done this that you — thousands of you American women — may be inspired to give your time, your labor, to an industry that is badly in need of your help. After this war 1 broke out one of every three men employed was lost to domestic air transport. A call went out; soon American women, a long brave line of them in overalls, began to come to the gates of the air fields, ready to release a man for service. You have the chance now to follow this line, to help keep industry powerful. You will have in this air transport fine training, an inspirational opportunity for advancement, a personal satisfaction that you are doing your wartime job. But most of all what you will find there will be that silent echo of a man's cheer from a faraway land.
