- Tagliaferri said she started working in 1941 at age 16 at Gradinetti Cutlery. The Syracuse, New York, knife factory had been converted into a machine gun parts factory. Following her marriage and Navy husband, Floyd “Tagg” Tagliaferri, being stationed in San Diego, she worked at Consolidated Vultee Aircraft Corporation (later Convair), where in its machine shop she fashioned and tooled custom parts from blueprints. “I was the only woman in the shop,” she said. “All the men were very nice; a lot older than me because all the younger men were all gone (to the war).” Once the war ended Tagliaferri said she gave up factory work because “I thought those jobs were supposed to go back to the men. It was not right to take their jobs.”
