It was amazing that Ford could build a B24 every 59.34 minutes when Willow Run was running at capacity. The Axis powers didn't stand a chance once the industry of the United States geared up for war. Costs went from $300,000 to $137,000. If any industry in the USA achieved that goal today the saving and efficiency would be taxed to make up the difference.
