Birth of the Bomber: The Story of the B-24 Liberator

This is the behind-the-headlines story of how the Allies developed and deployed this great plane as an essential weapon to smash the Axis threat. Starting with amazing footage of the B-24 bomber in action around the globe, we witness how the Ford Motor Company quickly retooled the Willow Run factory to build the bomber. This remarkable plant produced one B-24 every 53 minutes! In a special tribute to the brave fliers who defeated the Axis, you'll also see the B-24, B-17, and B-29 bombers all working with their "Little Friends" fighter planes like the P-47, P-51 and P-38 to wreak havoc on the enemy.
