I have often referred to my mother working and living in Washington, D.C. during the war in my comments on the many great photos Shorpy posts from that era. She was from Ohio but moved to D.C. to work for the CAA (Civil Aeronautics Authority) which was the forerunner of today's FAA. I found this picture of her in her office from 1943 and thought it would fit right in here. She would have turned 100 this year, so she is 25 in this picture. View full size.
