World War II Poster, "Yessir! Rick We'll Make Willow Run Hitler's Headache!," circa 1943

Artifact Overview
The people of Ford Motor Company's Willow Run plant felt -- justifiably -- that their efforts were crucial to Allied victory in World War II. The B-24 Liberator airplanes they built formed the backbone of the Allies' strategic bombing campaign against Germany. Posters like this reinforced the idea that the harder Willow Run's employees worked, the weaker the enemy became.
