Artifact Overview
Henry Ford and Harry Bennett conferred at Ford Motor Company's Willow Run bomber plant in December 1942. The two men formed a curious kinship. Bennett joined the company in 1918 and, under Mr. Ford's patronage, he became one of its most powerful figures. Bennett ruled through fear and intimidation. His reign ended when Henry Ford II fired him in 1945.
