De Land pool. Aircraft construction class. The flame of welding torches has replaced the soft lights of a nightclub in Daytona Beach, Florida, which has been taken over for a vocational school to train war workers for Florida's pooling program. Pictured above is C.C. Gravelge, welding instructor, showing one of his classes the difficult art of overhead welding in preparation for their initiation into aircraft welding jobs on the De Land pool's war contract.
