My Mother built C-46-47s at Curtis -Wright factory in Louisville Ky from 1942 -late 1945 . She and my Aunt Marie started out in the wings because they were small framed and weighed less than 100 lbs. But , Mom got heat exhaustion and that was the end of her being in the wings, Mom went on to running parts and supplies all over the plant and knew that airplane inside and out whenever it came to parts or any special applications . Aunt Marie stayed inside the planes , and virtually worked thru the entire aircraft at one time or another. She also ran wiring and cable controls and hydraulic lines. They each got a 8 inch momento Cast Aluminum C-46 airplane when the Curtis Wright plant shut down war production around Thanksgiving 1945. Ffffd-to 1968 .. the farm below ours was bought by the founder of Louisville Ladder Co. Lewis Berger saw all of us out working the garden and took the opportunity to introduce himself.Dad showed Him around to Fertilizer and seed dealers and hardware around Lanesville and a Roast Beef Manhatten at K&H . After a couple beers, Lewis brought Dad back home, and under the shade tree remarked to my Mom ,"You Look familiar ??" .. Mom said ,"You do too ? " ..They Both Recollected nearly at the same time and exclaimed , "You are MILDRED "and "You Are Lewis from over at the Curtis Wright plant, You were one of the supervisors !" We had a wonderful working and caring relationship for some 20 yrs. until Mr Berger passed away.
