The Fort William plant, part of the Montreal-based company founded in 1908, was closed from 1921 to 1937. After it reopened it built 1,451 Hawker Hurricanes between 1939 and 1943, thirty of which fought in the Battle of Britain; at the peak the plant employed 6,760 people, 2,707 of them women. Elsie MacGill was hired in 1938 as chief engineer, and Peggy Hampton was the first woman hired after 1921, as secretary to the plant manager. More than 3,000 workers were dismissed without notice on 17 August 1945. The plant newspaper was The Aircrafter.[13]
