A good time to mention Arsenal of Democracy by A.J. Baime.

It tells the story of the Willow Run plant and has received very good reviews in the general media (rare that an aircraft-oriented book goes mainstream).

Interesting photos of a huge building. I know its a small number but what percentage of the original building now belongs to the YAF?

144,000 square feet including the GM addition on the side, about 3-5% of the original plant.
