Fw: WW II - America - The War-Winning B-24 production line

WW II - America - The War-Winning B-24 production line


This film is very interesting - one B-24 Bomber aircraft every 55 minutes . . . 

THE AXIS HAD NO IDEA THE U.S. WAS CAPABLE OF THIS KIND OF PRODUCTION.  There is no way they could have even guessed.  

For those who live outside Michigan; Willow Run is near Bellville, Canton and Ypsilanti, Michigan, USA.
The Plant held the distinction at the time of being the world's largest enclosed "room."

At its peak, Willow Run produced 650 B-24s per month by 1944.

By 1945, Ford produced 70% of the B-24s in two nine hour shifts.  

Pilots and crews slept on 1,300 cots waiting for the B-24s to roll off the assembly line at Willow Run.

It's amazing that one B-24 [with over 1.25 million parts] came off the assembly line every 55 minutes !!!

Take a few minutes to watch this snapshot of what the US military-industrial-manufacturing history, achieved then.  Most likely, this is now taken over by the Chinese, not only on military hardware, but more so on all of the "consumptive" junks that America wants & buys thru Wal-Mart.
