Artifact Overview
During World War II, Ford Motor Company built B-24 bomber airplanes at its Willow Run plant. Alongside the B-17, the B-24 formed the backbone of the Allies' air war over Europe. The airplanes and their crews attacked factories, railroads, harbors and -- as the war progressed -- cities in Germany, Italy and occupied France. The bombings curbed Germany's military and manufacturing capabilities.
