Description
The American automobile industry's greatest contribution to the World War II effort, apart from the sheer scale of its work, was its technical expertise in quantity manufacturing. Automakers refined the smallest details in an item to increase the speed with which it could be made. That knowledge was reflected in everything auto companies produced during the war, from helmets to helicopters.
