Production of the B-36 Bomber Surges at Convair Fort Worth
The Associated Press reports rapid B-36 bomber production at Convair Fort Worth, with about 28,000 workers in a vast windowless plant. At least 170 bombers may have been built, while more orders and hiring push output. The Air Force guards performance figures as jets and bigger piston engines boost power, and production could expand with toolmaking spread to regional plants to shield the factory from attack.
