Çà me semble un peu fantastique fabriqué un B-24 en 55 minutes???........ J'ai trouvé ce vidéo et......voyez par vous même.

Henry Ford building & flying WW2 bombers...


Willow Run B-24s
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.

Très possible Jacques, faut pas oublier que c'est une chaîne d'assemblage. Douglas dans le temps de la deuxième guerre sortait un DC-3 tout les 38 minutes. Pas de niaisage on bâtit ;)p
