Aviation Photograph – Female Mechanic Working on Aircraft Engine (Foto Montaña, Buenos Aires)

Original press photograph showing a young woman cleaning and inspecting the cylinder heads of an aircraft engine beneath a mounted propeller. The image captures the mechanical detail of the exposed engine along with the active participation of women in aviation-related work.

Stamped on the reverse is Foto Montaña, Buenos Aires with publication credit through Mauritius-Verlag, Berlin. The back also bears a handwritten notation “Aviación”, linking the subject explicitly to aviation documentation.

This photograph reflects the international dissemination of aviation imagery in the interwar and World War II periods, distributed via European press agencies for publication in South America. It provides both technical and social context — showing detailed engine components alongside women directly engaged in maintenance work, a significant aspect of aviation history.
