Artifact Overview
Building something as complex as a B-24 bomber on an assembly line was no easy task. Ford Motor Company officials methodically divided the complicated airplane into 11 major assemblies, and then further split these into 69 subassemblies. By April 1944, Willow Run employees completed B-24 airplanes at the rate of one every 63 minutes.
