- Liberty Aircraft Engine Cylinders, circa 1918 - Ford, Buick, Cadillac, Lincoln, Marmon, and Packard built more than 20,000 Liberty V-12 aircraft engines for the Allied Powers during World War I. Ford produced the engine cylinders for all manufacturers. The company developed a new method for making cylinders from steel tubing rather than boring them from solid forgings. These examples contrast Ford's process with a forged cylinder.
