When World War II broke out, Ford built thousands of aircraft engines, as well as the B-24 Liberator bombers that were so instrumental in the Allied victory.

Howdy, Phil,

The Twin Wasp photo is a real keeper. Got it saved and up as background now. Such exquisite workmanship.

During the World War Ford went into making the big weapons in the biggest way they could manage. GM held back. Old Henry was in charge of Ford at the time, and Mr. Ford was every inch a man.

Evening Phil Dragoo.

Love the Patton pics. I knew you'd come up with something. Patton would despise a man like Kerry, IMHO, all Americasn should despise a man like that. How people like him get elected and stay in power is hard to understand. They are against everything America stands for.

Great walkaround photos of the B-24. I may get a chance to see a real one after all. One scheduled to come to a local airport in June.

Thanks for the pix. The one with the top half of the empennage missing was amazing.
