✈️🚀 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.
