Great photo, but does it really take three men to inspect one wheel?
AV8TER said:
If your life depended on it how many people would you want inspecting it?
Graeme Smith said:
Wow, those of seriously big wheels!

Hi, I'm an admin for a group called Ypsilanti, and we'd love to have this added to the group!

They're inspecting the landing gear for a Ford built B-24 Liberator. Ford built B-24's under contract from Consolidated Aircraft. Willow Run was and still is located just outside of Ypsilanti, Michigan. The assembly facility was owned and operated by Ford.

There aren't any lane lines painted onto the roads. Hopefully they've corrected this by now. Is this still a one-way road?

Still a one way road. The area near the top of the picture is being transformed into a TechTown. I teach in the area.

Look at those historic apartment buildings, long gone razed, just like thousands of them over the last 60 + years. Detroit is but a shell of what it once was, which was a great international city.

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.
