This documentary traces the vital role played by Canadian women in the war
effort , as they began replacing the men at war, in the building of the
world's much-needed fighter planes. Several of the women who built the
"Hurricanes" are interviewed and provide insight into their work at Canadian
Car at Fort William, Ontario. The first female engineer and designer, Elsie
MacGill, is included as a pioneer in aviation design.
