Last Plane
Off Line at
Plant Today

The big SlO0,OOO.OO0 Willow Run
Bomber Plant came to the end OF
It's war job today with the compile
ton OF the last four-engined Liber
ator bomber plane.
With the end OF the European
phase Of the war, the Army air
forces announced 1t had all the
Liberators it needed; other types
Of bombers would take over the
job in the Pacific.
The final bomber, scheduled to
roll off the automobile-type assem-.
bly, line late this afternoon, was the
S,6S5th made in the plant by the
Ford Motor Company. The first
one was assembled in September.
1912.
After the last bomber is sent
from the assembly line the work.
ing force at the plant, which at
one time numbered approximately
$4,000 men and women, will have
declined to about 1000 to be re-
tanned as plant protection workers
Both the Ford Motor Company
and the Army air forces have an
nounced they have no plans for
future use OF the factory, which
covers about So acres. The big air
field that edges up to the final
assembly line, however, already
has become storage space for hun.
dreds of B-24 laboratory bomb
ers that have seen service in the
European theater.
Henry Ford once planned to re-
tain the big plant after the war
and devote II to the production OF
cargo planes and farm implements
Later, however, It was announced
he had abandoned these plans.
on Grand Scale
Willow Run, symbol Of war pro-
ductlon on the grand scale, was
begun early in 1871, with an ini'
tial order for 500 completed bomb
ers and complete sub-assemblies
and parts for another 1,20O. 1t was
the subject of considerable critl-
cism when plans for early produc-
ton failed TO materialiZe.
II got into the production stride
in 1913, however, and in November
OF that year was able to announce
that more than 1000 bombers and
substantial numbers in knock-dowD
sets had been produced.
Highest production level reached
was one completed bomber every
working hour. In March 1914 the
assembly lines turned out 462 Of
the big planes. -
The original s4sO,oO0,00O con
tract developed into a S1,5OO,O 100000
project before the final bomber
was assembled.
