omg! Went back to the beginning to see if this were directed by Frank Capra, with set design by Norman Rockwell! Very fun! Thank you for posting this, it is a gem from history.
to today stadard these women put today man to shame many young teens dont even know how to change a flat tire and this women are did great for this wonderful greta nation
I could be wrong, but I the college shown at 4:35 looks to me like Eastern Michigan University, which is also in Ypsilanti, MI, maybe 10 miles from the Willow Run Plant. The final bay that I referred to I think is shown at 8:15. The bay doors are shown from the outside at 8:32.
My grandmother worked there also my dad lived by there and he would tell me about when they pulled the planes out of the hangars they would test the machine guns and you could hear them all through town as they fired the machine guns into a big pile of sand I think the big pile of sand is still they're not for sure though.
And my Dad was a Tank Commander with the New Zealand Army of an M4 Sherman powered by the Mighty Ford GAA V8. Back in New Zealand he only owned a Ford. I am still biased towards Ford, I have never had a dud one! The worst car I have ever had was a Subaru....so unreliable. The most boring car I have ever had was a Toyota Camry. My favorite cars were a Ford Escort 1.6 Liter Sport and a Ford Falcon 4.1 L. My next favorite cars are Mazda. And then the USA out sourced Manufacturing, firstly to Japan and then to China and the CCP; we haven't got any thanks from the Commies in the CCP! Nixon and Kissinger convincing Moa Zedong to open up his economy to endless opportunities from the USA without anything in return except less jobs in the USA and the West!
Replaced men in the factories so the 'evil' men could 'bring death', eh. AgitProp. Why didn't they join the men on the front? Men's extra strngth didn't stop bullets and shells blowing their arms and legs off while the women's nimble fingers rivited in the safety of a factory. EEEKwaliteee'.

My mother worked at the plant sewing the inside panels. She was the first married woman hired at the WR plant.
"Yes we can!" I wish they would teach this Herstory in school. Thanks for preserving these training films!
A little corny now, but why are there only 91 likes after all these years. These women made a critical contribution!!!

It was..any questions I'm a expert on that town after all I was born there
My Grandmother worked there, installing triggers in machine guns.
My Mom worked there. She used to metalplate the aluminum
If we had to do this today the country would be over 50% of the country would help
My dad, Eddie Hefley, was one of the group of test pilots, later becoming one of their Flight Dept. supervisors, too. :-)
They’d never get it to one plane an hour today. Too many workers would be taking selfies and making tictok videos etc.
I live 3 miles from Willow Run!
CaptPizza I grew up about 3 miles from willow run

My mother and 3 aunts worked at Willow Run. Is there a complete history of pictures somewhere? They had lots of stories.
Very cool
How about the bomber plant in Cleveland at what is now the I-X Center at the south end of CLE?
Women were so darn pretty back then!

I once read a car review that said, "the Toyota Camry is the most boring car you'll ever love."
"deadly accuracy" LOL
once 1/3 of the engineering-force is female I will tune into the song.
@iseesquares Wouldn't it be funny if airboyd would block and remove your comment making it impossible for you to view the videos he uploads?

You should learn some history ..
Replaced men in the factories so the 'evil' men could 'bring death', eh. AgitProp.
Why didn't they join the men on the front?
Men's extra strngth didn't stop bullets and shells blowing their arms and legs off while the women's nimble fingers rivited in the safety of a factory.
