Shown here 75 years ago, on the cover of Radio-Electronics, June 1950, is Margaret Latham, of Beane Radio Service, Newark, New Jersey. She is shown engaged in a typical aircraft servicing operation at the Newark airport.

She penned an article for the magazine in which she noted that the “service technician must have a genuine interest in aircraft and the people who fly them, as well as a thorough knowledge of the principles of radio, because as often as not he is called upon to cancel his own personal plans to complete repairs on an aircraft radio.”
