B-24 Liberator

I understand that this is not 'Jet engines' but, to an aviation person it is still interesting.

This is the forerunner of how this is mostly done today but with a greater emphasis on safety.

Watch and enjoy, then sit back and wonder at how this was achieved in 1941.

This was 6 months BEFORE Pearl Harbor! Henry Ford was
determined that he could mass produce bombers just as he
had done with cars, so he built the Willow Run assembly
plant in Michigan and proved it. It was the world's largest
building under one roof at the time.

This film will absolutely blow you away - one B-24 every 55 
minutes, and Ford had their own pilots to test them!!

ADOLF HITLER HAD NO IDEA THE U.S. WAS CAPABLE
OF THIS KIND OF THING.
