I am related through several “layers” to the Willow Run facility in MI.

While my Dad was over in England with the B-17s and the 8th Air Force my Mom was at Willow Run riveting wing panels on B-24 Liberators.

My uncle Lloyd flew out of England with the 8th AF.
Dad was a civlian Hump pilot in the C-B-I Campaign.
He called China-Burma-India the “bump on the butt” of the Allied war effort.
