[Milsurplus] WWII Willow Run Bomber Plant Photo Archive

[Michael Bittner]

Thanks for sharing, Barry.  Really brings back memories of when I was a kid 
during WWII and highly appropriate for Memorial Day.  We lived 6 miles from 
the Curtis factory in Patterson, NJ where they built the Wright Cyclone 
engines.  They worked 24-7 and you could hear them running up the engines at 
night even where we lived.  Most people, these days, have no clue what an 
actual Home Front is like or what full mobilization means.
