Production. B-25 bombers. Fuselages for B-25 bombers on an assembly line in a Western aircraft plant. These fuselages will be installed on the right sides of the planes. General Doolittle, who flew 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

Production. B-24 bombers and C-87 transports. Wing center section for a B-24 bomber and C-87 transports ready for mating with fuselages on the assembly line. Both the bombers and the transport ships are capable of operation at high altitudes and over great ranges. The bomber proved itself an excellent performer in the Pacific, in Northern Africa, Europe and the Aleutians. The transport carries a greater human and cargo load than any other plane now in mass production

Production. B-17F heavy bombers. Overall view of a conveyor assembly line at the Long Beach, California, plant of Douglas Aircraft Company, showing B-17F fuselages going through and, at right, sectional fuselage jigs in which fuselage halves are assembled from prefabricated parts. Better known as the "Flying Fortress," the B-17F is a later model B-17, which distinguished itself in action in the South Pacific, over Germany and elsewhere. It is a long range, high altitude, heavy bomber with a crew of seven to nine men and with armament sufficient to defend itself on daylight missions
