Rosie The Riveter, Willow Run Bomber Plant

A Real Rosie the Riveter

frances-real-rosieWe were delighted to meet WWII Rosie the Riveter Frances attending the Open House at the Willow Run Bomber Plant.

Frances, who is 91, worked at the plant during WWII, making B-24 Liberator bombers on the assembly line. She lived in Detroit at the time, and it took an hour by bus to get to Ypsilanti, then another half hour to get to the Plant. She worked as a riveter there from 1942 until 1945, or “for the duration,” as they would say during the war.
