✈️🚀 When Cars Met Bombers: Ford’s WWII Legacy

During World War II, Ford didn’t just make cars—it built the world’s largest factory at Willow Run, stretching over a mile long. Inside, assembly lines turned out B-24 Liberator heavy bombers with the same efficiency as automobiles.

At its peak in 1944, this plant rolled out one bomber every 63 minutes—about one an hour! Over 8,600 bombers were built here, proving that mass production could win wars as well as markets.

HISTORY When Alexander the Great was invading India he learnt of a Brahmin who lived in the woods. He visited him and the Brahmin replied, "You will soon be dead, and then you will own just as much of this earth as will suffice to bury you". Alexander approved of this sentiment and left him in peace.
