Production. B-24E (Liberator) bombers at Willow Run. Looking down one of the two final assembly lines for B-24E (Liberator) bombers at Ford's big Willow Run plant. Guns and wing tips have not yet been added to the planes in the foreground. The Liberator is capable of operation at high altitudes and over great ranges on precision bombing missions. It has proved itself an excellent performer in the Pacific, in Northern Africa, Europe and the Aleutians. Ford's Willow Run Plant, Michigan

Production. B-25 bombers. Final assembly bay of a Western aircraft plant in which wings are installed on B-25 bombers. General Doolittle, who flew in a B-25 in the raid on Tokyo, has called the ship the best military plane in existence. With plenty of speed, a 1700-mile cruising range and a ceiling of 25,000 feet, it has performed brilliantly as a medium bomber and as an escort plane. Fairfax bomber plant, Kansas City
