#WW2Stories #WWII #MilitaryHistory #militarylogistics The Shock of Abundance | The Willow Run Factory: How Ford Built a B-24 Bomber Every Single Hour How did Henry Ford build a B-24 Liberator every single hour? This is the incredible true story of Willow Run, the mile-long factory that became the "Arsenal of Democracy" and changed the entire course of WWII. We journey from Henry Ford's seemingly impossible promise to the creation of a mile-long fortress that revolutionized WWII industrial production. Discover the story of the "Rosie the Riveter" workforce who became the true engine of the factory, and explore the fierce debate over the B-24's "Flying Coffin" reputation. Finally, we reveal how this relentless system of mass production created a "Shock of Abundance" that, in the words of Albert Speer, crushed the morale of the German High Command.
