It truly was the Mfg. capability of the USA that won the war for us and the world. The factorys ran 24-7 and only shut down (part time)for Christmas.
I can still remember them as a young boy and the railroads that moved everything (back & forth) across the country, 24-7 as well.
There was a postage stamp made for "rosy the riveter" in the late 90s.
This is not to forget all that died (47 million) of which the Russians lost the most 22 million where we lost 14.
I have a model (P-38)in progresss with 40" wingspan. In the paint shop now.
