 Ford-built Airplanes in WW II -- Great History Lesson!

  

 
A Ford Airplane - AMAZING.

This was 6 months BEFORE Pearl Harbor!  Henry Ford was determined that he could mass produce bombers just as he had done with cars, so he built the Willow Run assembly plant in Mich. and proved it. It was the world's largest building under one roof at a time.

This film will absolutely blow you away - one B-24 every 55 minutes, and Ford had their own pilots to test them!!

 

 

 

ADOLF HITLER HAD NO IDEA THE U.S. WAS CAPABLE OF THIS KIND OF THING.
