McNamee, regional director of the war manpower commission, stated that a six day transit strike caused 4,000,000 man hours lost in defense plants, equaling 267 Flying Fortresses or five destroyers in wartime production. He noted this covers only war plants and excludes late arrivals and subcontractor losses, which could add another 1,000,000 hours.
