Ford Willow Run plant nears full wartime production pace
The Willow Run bomber facility, begun 13 months ago by Henry Ford, features vast manufacturing and assembly areas, parallel lines, and a private airport. A key Ingergol milling machine enables eleven operations at once, cutting center wing machining time from days to hours. The plant aims for three eight-hour shifts as mass production methods from Ford’s auto plants are applied to bombers. Women will comprise about 25 percent of workers, paid the same as men. Ford also reports its 2000th Pratt and Whitney engine and ongoing armor plate and engine production for mechanized fighting vehicles. Sorensen says production is 98.9 percent in war production.
