Fwd: Fw: Fwd: Willow Run B-24s ---INTERESTING!
This is where I received my Commercial Pilots Certificate, 1976
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 -- and 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.

My cousin, Carl Copen, now passed on, took me up in his Piper from Raven Rock, Paul. I appreciate you, him, and all pilot friends, such as Flip Spriggs, Paul Ryan, Les Bond, Ramey Hoskins, Frank Hunter, and the like. You guys fell in love with flying and Ford Motors obviously made us more capable for fighting Hitler, Mussolini, and the Japanese in winning World War II. Thanks good friend!
