Production. B-24E (Liberator) bombers at Willow Run. The nose of a new B-24E (Liberator) bomber, just off the assembly line and paint shop at Ford's big Willow Run plant, and now ready for its test flights. 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
