Artifact Overview
Ford Motor Company's Willow Run complex included a 1,484-acre airport with six runways and three aircraft hangars. The largest of these hangars could house 20 B-24 bombers at once, and included a control tower, a café, and a hotel. Occasionally the hangars were put to other uses -- like housing military personnel at the plant.
