Artifact Overview

Ford Motor Company's Willow Run plant manufactured B-24 Liberator bomber airplanes during World War II. The complex consisted of several factory buildings (including a main assembly building more than a mile long), classrooms, a hospital, and worker housing. An adjacent airport, with six runways and three hangars, allowed finished airplanes to leave the plant under their own power.
