Production. B-24 bombers and C-87 transports. Mated sections of a consolidated transport plane are lifted by a monorail crane from a fuselage mating fixture of a Western aircraft plant. It will next be deposited in a carriage which will carry it along the assembly line. This new transport, an adaptation of the B-24 bomber, is known as the C-87, and carries one of the greatest human or cargo loads of any plane now in mass production. It is built in a plant equipped with the best and most modern air conditioning and fluorescent lighting systems in the country
