Description
Ford's Willow Run Bomber Plant, designed by Albert Kahn and constructed in 1941, undoubtedly contributed to the outcome of World War II. With 3.5 million square feet of factory space, 650 B-24 Liberators rolled off the line every month by the end of 1944. Before the plant closed in 1945, Willow Run produced 8,685 B-24 bombers.
