B-25 Bomber Plant - 1942
|
Found this nice and clear colour shot of a WWII era bomber plant. Look what looks to be a ton of three lamp T17 preheat units in use here. As you can see some of the lamps are dead and there's also a couple of lamps with stuck starters.

"Assembling B-25 bombers at North American Aviation, Kansas City, Kansas."
Some more info: "The B-25 Mitchell. This photo is at the North American Aviation plant in Kansas. Of the 10,000 or so produced, 6,500 were made by Ford at the Willow Run plant, the largest single building under one roof in its day. Employees used bicycles to get around because the facility was so large. After the B-17 it was the workhorse of WW II. The biggest advantage of the B-25 was it could take off in 700 feet of runway. Col James Doolittle flew them off the deck of an aircraft carrier to bomb Japan!
