Inspecting of landing wheel of the transport planes at Willow Run (LOC)

    I live an hour from Willow Run and was once inside the factory(1990s). I know Ford Motor Company built Consolidated B-24 Liberator Bombers there at a astounding rate. I've read a fair amount of aviation and I don't recall hearing about transports being built in Willow Run. Tire looks right for a B-24 from pictures and youtube videos I just looked at.

    Is this the final paint color? Or just some kind of primer kote?
  • enfield249 said:
    No, it's a zinc dichromate primer. On the interiors of it was often a pea green color. Quite toxic I think , but good a protecting the metal.
  • kirktalon said:
    This series of pictures are B-24 Bombers and I think at this point in the process, we are seeing the final color of that front cowling as it is called. Lots of these planes went out the door with bare metal on the exterior parts. I could be wrong.

    Greenhorns: In all actuality, WWII planes' paint jobs final touch were often applied with "Kilroy was here," or some such personalized, decompensating brush stroke. 10-4, over and out. Pete Moss musicians, please to be making the noises, now.

    Transport would be a LB-30 or a B-24 bomber
