Willow Run, B-24 Liberator Bomber Factory In WW2.

Willow Run: Colossus of American Industry Page 7

When the U.S. joined Allied Forces in 1941,

My great grandfather, Henry Ford, and my grandfather, Edsel Ford, became leaders in National Defense efforts that turned Ford Motor Company vehicle production facilities into military manufacturing operations. With patriotism and enthusiasm as its driving forces, the Ford team designed and built in record time the Ford Willow Run Bomber Factory, the world's largest industrial plant at its time. As you read this book about Willow Run, you will learn about part of Ford Motor Company's proud National Defense history.

From the Webmaster:

This is truly a great book, Mr. Kidder is an excellent writer who can keep your interest while giving you the real facts about building the B-24 Liberator at Willow Run.

It's incredible that these men could have built this great factory and produce the B-24 Liberator in such a short time. Mr. Kidder tells you how.

You will love this book.

Jeff, My Dad was one of the first " Bombagators " in the Army Air Corps in WWII . He received the distinguished Flying cross for leading a mission over Germany during the war in a B-24 Liberator Bomber. The name of the plane was Galloping Katie two . Dad was Ernest Robert DeVillers . The pilot was J. Paul Getty . If you can set me up in any search areas , it would be greatly appreciated. Dad wrote a mission letter for every mission he flew but destroyed them just a few years ago. I have two that weren't in his possession along with his graduation book from San Angelo Army Air Field in San Angelo, Texas . If any of what I have can be of use to you or others interested in this history, please contact me at Frank dd890@aol.com
Thanks Jeff
Frank DeVillers
