America Could Not Have Won The World War II Battle For The Atlantic Without The B-24 Liberator

Great Bird!! The MI plant was huge.

"Approximately 18,500 B-24s were produced across a number of versions, including over 4,600 manufactured by Ford. It holds records as the world's most produced bomber, heavy bomber, multi-engine aircraft, and American military aircraft in history.[44] Production took place at 5 plants. At Ford's Ypsilanti, Michigan based Willow Run Bomber plant alone, one B-24 was being produced every 59 minutes at its peak, a rate so large that production exceeded the military's ability to use the aircraft. Such were the production numbers it has been said that more aluminum, aircrew, and effort went into the B-24 than any other aircraft in history."

It's true. It became the backbone of our bomber fleet

Excellent history share brother Tony
