A pictoral history of Willow Run - a relative unknown location that became the world's most famous bomber factory during World War II. In May 1940, Pres. Franklin D. Roosevelt called for the production of 50,000 military airplanes. He then drafted the president of General Motors, William Knudsen, to mobilize industry in the United States.

By the spring of 1944, Willow Run was producing a four-engine B-24 bomber each hour on an assembly line.
