The long hanger at Willow Run, Michigan has a 90 degree turn in it so Henry Ford would not have to pay taxes in the next county. That short end is being saved and restored today as a museum. The big hanger doors are still operational after all these years.
This is one of the best and most informative clips about a great American accomplishment, thanks to the Ford Motor Company during WWII.
A Ford Airplane! AMAZING!
Production began here 6 months BEFORE Pearl Harbor! Henry Ford was determined that he could mass produce bombers just as he had with cars, so he built the Willow Run assembly plant and proved it. This was the world's largest building under one roof at the time. This film will absolutely blow you away -- one B-24 every 55 minutes! -- and Ford had its own pilots to test them. And no recalls!
ADOLF HITLER HAD NO IDEA THE U.S. WAS CAPABLE OF THIS KIND OF THING.
The B-24 Liberator was designed by Consolidated Aircraft. Slightly over 8000 of the 19000 built were produced under contract By Ford. The Stout Metal Airplane Division of the Ford Motor Company closed in 1936 but was reopened only for the production of B-24s (1941).
The only operational "Ford Airplane" was the Tri-Motor.
Just like in WW2 Our Govt trying to stay out of world events ..... until they finally come HERE to get us !!
NK HAS to be Taken out / like it or not or they will take Us or our Allies out first !!!! Wake UP America !!!
Too bad for SK , they better start leaving soon , Truman Owns it ALL when he Fired General Mcarthur in 1950's !!! Now , Nobody can Save them since NK will inialate them !!!

Six-months before WWII? Just goes to show you that someone knew that war was coming.

ReplyDeleteFord deserves a Medal and America's Thank You's !!!!
wow I never knew that. I'm not even sure I knew Ford built airplanes, to begin with. And Rebel, I had similar thoughts like yours.
ReplyDeleteWasn't Ford in league with Germany before, and after the war? American steel being used for the railways to the extermination camps etc.
But still, a bomber made in under an hour consistently? Amazing.
