The WPA helped the United States solve a shortage of aircraft mechanics as World War II approached. Trainees J. D. Oliver and Charles Steele work with instructor L. P. French at Meacham Field in Fort Worth, Texas.
After World War II began with the Japanese bombing of Pearl Harbor, WPA artists produced posters such as this one urging the conservation of coal in wartime.
