Willow Run & B24's

If you have (plenty of) spare time and are interested in finding out how America won WWII click on this for a series of images ... Liberators by the THOUSANDS. I knew the Willow Run factory was big, but this really gives a feel for just HOW big!

I just read of a reference to an open air production facility in California in the war. Again, it must have been large (or the need great!)

Just remembered - should have given you this link to the Werribee B24 project. These guys are doing an amazing job on a shoestring budget. Given what they started with, and the complexity of the '24 it's a truly incredible target they have set themselves of reaching a taxi-capable finished product. Good on 'em, and if you're ever near Geelong/Werribee do yourself a big favour and visit them!
