B&W or COLOR?
I have plenty of both.
Preferably color, but I don't think a color image of the Corsair Production Line exists.

To be correct, that’s not the “Chance Vought Corsair Production Line“
It is the Vought Sikorsky Production Line.
You are correct sir.

Those are some cool coveralls!
We have a pair that originally belonged to a Rosie. At some point it appears that the original white coveralls were ruined somehow, so she had the logo removed and stitched onto he back of a pair of grey coveralls.

During WWII Vought also produced the OS2U Kingfisher presumably from the same factory site. Can you tell me if Vought delivered those aircraft in the landplane configuration or with the float attached. Perhaps it is just not captured by the photograph but I do not see a seaplane ramp.
Yes indeed there was a seaplane ramp built in 1928/9 along with the rest of the original Sikorsky factory when he moved the company from Long Island. This was one of the reasons Igor moved to Stratford in the first place. Access to a harbor / inlet for seaplanes (the company's main export at the time) as well as the airport across the street for land-based aircraft. Not to mention the rail line up the road a short distance. You can see the the ramp jutting out into the Housatonic River from Mark's picture.

These OS2U pictures might be in the plant...

They are indeed! But I'm only looking for pictures of the Corsair Production Line at this time since it was arguably the most known / popular aircraft to ever be designed and produced in this factory.
