How One Factory Foreman Made B-24 Bombers Roll Out Faster Than Fighters Could Shoot Them Down |WWII. During World War II, the United States faced a problem no fighter pilot could solve in the air — how to replace bombers faster than the enemy could destroy them. At Ford’s massive Willow Run factory in Michigan, a single factory foreman and a team of engineers revolutionized aircraft manufacturing. By adapting Henry Ford’s moving automobile assembly line to aircraft production, they turned the complex B-24 Liberator bomber into a product that could be built at unprecedented speed. What followed stunned the world. At peak output, Willow Run completed one fully assembled B-24 bomber every 63 minutes, overwhelming Axis defenses with sheer industrial power. This documentary reveals how logistics, standardization, and American mass production became weapons as decisive as guns and bombs — and how the factory floor became a battlefield of its own. #worldwar2 #ww2history #b24liberator #fordfactory #ww2aviation #militaryhistory #ww2documentary #americanindustry #warproduction #aviationhistory
