Provenance
Dorothy Berry and Doris Berry, twin sisters who together with their older sister Helen, and two other siblings and their father Russell Berry, all worked at the Fleet Aircraft Limited factory located in Fort Erie, Ontario during World War II. Dorothy Berry worked in the Woodworking Department of the factory where the tail sections of the Fleet made Cornell aircraft were built.
Dorothy would use a plane tool to remove thin strips from a piece of wood to create a smooth and level surface. Her training and skill as a woodworker was essential for the production of the many aircraft produced at Fleet Aircraft Limited.
Dorothy Laidman (nee Berry) was a volunteer at Canadian Warplane Heritage Museum.
