Ford builds the B-24 at Willow Run video

An early propaganda film (I think) of the Willow Run B-24 plant. This has been around, but may be new to some.

Willow Run, Ypsilanti MI, is the home of the Yankee Airforce (now renamed with a long, cover all things handle) but nevertheless, has a pretty good collection of airplanes. Mostly from the jet age, but WWII iron as well. All but a small part of this giant plant is now gone, however, the corner was saved, to become the Yankee museum, is about 100,000 sq feet.

The museum has a flying B-17, a B-25, a C-47 (DC-3) which give rides. Sadly, by the time the museum was founded, no B-24 could be found to include. Not for the lack of trying. A contingent of members even went to India to chase down some planes there. Untrue rumor.
