- Henry Ford was determined to mass produce B-24 bombers
just as he had done with cars. He built the Willow Run assembly plant and
proved it. It was the world's largest building under one roof.
-
- This video will absolutely blow you away - one B-24 every
55 minutes. Germany had no idea America was capable of this kind of output.
There is no way they could have even guessed.
-
- For those who live outside of Michigan, Willow Run is
near Belleville, Canton and Ypsilanti, Michigan.
-
- It's amazing that one B-24 - built with over 1.225 million
parts - came off the assembly line every 55 minutes.
