Outlining one of the critical ways the U.S. mobilized its resources during WWII for the war effort, this documentary explains--through propaganda-style delivery--how the Ford Motor Company produced vast numbers of the B-24 Liberator. The Willow Run plant was able to manufacture one bomber per hour through the application of the assembly-line that Ford had pioneered in the automobile industry. This video provides an in-depth look into the manufacturing and assembly process of the B-24 along with the Willow Run farm and school that were integrated with the plant to satisfy the human resource demand of the whole operation.
