Ford-Built Consolidated Liberator Bonet**,

Watch The Fords Go

of mighty bombers are coming from Willow Run!
Fleets of giant four-engined Fords with wings and heavily
armored bodies able to carry tons of bombs to the Axis!

These Ford-built Consolidated Liberator bombers are not
only in production -. . . they're in volume production! And
they're leaving Willow Run in a steady stream for service
throughout the world.

Never before Willow Run has anything so big and complex
as this Liberator bomber been built on an interchangeable
mass-production basis. Some said it couldn't be done .. .
that frequent design changes would make mass production
impossible. But army men knew that failure to produce
aircraft in mass would prove disastrous. They knew that
Victory demanded what seemed impossible—and they relied
on Ford to do it.

The army was right. What many thought impossible has
been done at Willow Run!

There were difficulties such as manpower shortages, the
training of, inexperienced workers and the curtailment of
transportation.

But today Willow Run is doing what Ford promised! The
plant is producing bombers in volume . . . and on schedule!

At other Ford plants across the nation, fleets of war models
are being delivered every day. These include M-4 tanks,
M-10 tank destroyers, Ford-built 2000-hp Pratt & Whitney
engines for which Ford has received the Army-Navy "E",
and many other Victory models listed below.

As you watch these Fords go by on their way to your sons
and brothers at the front, remember that their quantity and
quality reflect the feeling of the whole Ford organization
that . . . no effort short of Victory is enough.
