Mr. Byron (Ben) Moore is pictured at work in the Aircraft Building at the Ford Rouge Plant during World War II. Before war production started, Moore oversaw motor assembly repairs at the Highland Park Plant and the Rouge. Like many during the early 20th-century's urbanization, Moore grew up on a rural farm but moved to work in Detroit's industries.
