Original U.S. WWII Women’s Boeing Wichita Division Inspector Work Uniform Shirt with Name Embroidered to Front
-
Original Item. One-of-a-Kind. The Boeing Wichita plant was originally founded as Stearman Aircraft in 1927 before being acquired by the United Aircraft and Transport Corporation (UATC) in 1929. Following the breakup of UATC in 1934, the plant was retained by Boeing and became the Wichita division of the Boeing Airplane Company in 1941. The Boeing Wichita division was responsible for the construction of several models of strategic bomber aircraft including the B-29 Superfortress, B-47 Stratojet, and B-52 Stratofortress. The Wichita factory primarily builds fuselage sections, including 70% of the structure for the Boeing 737.
This is a fantastic shirt for a female inspector at the Boeing Wichita Division, with the name “Ruth” embroidered on the front. As there wouldn’t have been many female inspectors at this time, there is a possibility of naming this piece! The back of the shirt has a gorgeous patch for the Wichita division with INSPECTION embroidered above it. The shirt retains its buttons and is in great condition for its age, with just the expected staining of age.
A fantastic example, ready for further research and display.
