Add to SetSummary
Ford Motor Company built everything from jeeps to gliders during World War II, but its most dramatic manufacturing effort involved B-24 bomber planes. Ford adapted its mass production techniques to aircraft construction at the company's massive Willow Run plant. There were many production problems to solve but, by March 1944, Willow Run workers completed one bomber every 63 minutes.
