The long hanger at Willow Run, Michigan has a 90 degree turn in it so Henry Ford would not have to pay taxes in the next county. That short end is being saved and restored today as a museum. The big hanger doors are still operational after all these years.

This is one of the best and most informative clips about a great American accomplishment, thanks to the Ford Motor Company during WWII.

A Ford Airplane! AMAZING! Production began here 6 months BEFORE Pearl Harbor! Henry Ford was determined that he could mass produce bombers just as he had with cars, so he built the Willow Run assembly plant and proved it.
This was the world's largest building under one roof at the time. This
film will absolutely blow you away -- one B-24 every 55 minutes! Ford had
its own pilots to test them. And no recalls!

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

Editor’s Note: Not to be confused with Ford’s nearby Wixom Assembly plant which built Lincolns until closing in 2007.

Today, it seems like the only one who gets all this and understands the importance of our manufacturing potential is our awesome SAVIOR of a President, Donald J. Trump.

The stupid liberals are too obsessed with minority supremacy and social justice issues to ever fathom the importance a strong manufacturing base is to this country and it's sense of self worth.

Henry Ford got it. :clap:

Ford built airplanes long before Willow Run.

Willow Run is an amazing feat of American ability to get 'er done.
