    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.

    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!

    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 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.

    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.

    My mother and 3 aunts worked at Willow Run. Is there a complete history of pictures somewhere? They had lots of stories.

    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!

      I once read a car review that said, "the Toyota Camry is the most boring car you'll ever love."

    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'.
