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

B-24 Liberator Bomber and C-87 Liberator Express. Cross-section of the C-87 Liberator Express shows the transport as an adaptation of the B-24 Liberator bomber. In the Liberator Express, the fuselage is stripped, the nose is closed, turrets are eliminated and a large loading door installed. It has a top speed of over 300 miles per hour and a range of approximately 3,000 miles

Production. Lockheed P-38 pursuit planes. Finishing wings for Lockheed P-38 pursuit planes in a large Western aircraft plant. The wings, which had been accurately assembled in jigs, are added to the plane bodies as they travel down the final assembly line where engines, landing gear, controls and other equipment are also installed

B-24 Liberator Bomber and C-87 Liberator Express. Super-transports such as this C-87 Liberator Express are carrying key personnel and vital cargo to all United Nations' war fronts. With a speed in excess of 300 miles per hour and a range of more than 3,000 miles, the C-87 can carry the greatest human or cargo load of any landplane now in mass production

Production. Airplane maufacture, general. Stockrooms are as busy as the assembly lines at the Long Beach, California, plant of Douglas Aircraft Company. Most important of the many types of aircraft made at this plant are the B-17F ("Flying Fortress") heavy bomber, the A-20 ("Havoc") assault bomber and the C-47 heavy transport plane for the carrying of troops and cargo

Production. B-25 bombers. Tires, wing sections and empennage assemblies for B-25 bombers, ready for the assembly lines of a Western aircraft plant. General Doolittle has called the ship the best military plane in existence. With plenty of speed, a 1700- mile cruising range and a ceiling of 25,000 feet, it has performed brilliantly as a medium bomber and as an escort plane. Fairfax bomber plant, Kansas City
