IIRC, at one time during the war, we were building one B-17 PER DAY.

“IIRC, at one time during the war, we were building one B-17 PER DAY.”

At peak production, between the three plants (Seattle, Long Beach and Burbank), Boeing was squeezing out up to 16 per day. I don’t know how many individual parallel assembly lines they were running to get that number.
