In fact, we outpaced the Germans in sheer production of aircraft. It's hard to look at this chart and imagine a world where the US could have lost WWIIpic.twitter.com/dxBeo1tDnW
As a very odd fact, Ford Europe was producing the planes for the Nazis. So another way one can look at this chart, is that we had Ford build factories to build bombers to bomb Ford factories in europe building planes to bomb us
How did we do this? Part of it is significantly ramping up production via facilities like Willow Run. Which was largest factory of its time. But two aspects are notable to me 1) that in some sense FDR's definite optimism was self-fulfilling 2) that we switched an entire industrypic.twitter.com/fyN53gRxng
FDR set a goal that nobody thought was possible and America willed it into success. Of course, this wouldn't be possible without the massive alignment towards the war effort that existed post-Pearl Harbor But this cumulative chart is striking. We basically perfectly hit the goalpic.twitter.com/qaHwWSd0zy
And it almost didn't happen. If Pearl Harbor hadn't happened, we still would have entered war, but hard to imagine there'd be as much alignment towards the war effort at the expense of all else As an example, until Pearl Harbor, Henry Ford refused to build planes for the Allies
And it's crazy how much we shifted an entire industry Ford had never built a plane before WWII. Yet by the end of WWII it was producing tens of thousands of planes a year Even more striking is that the car industry just *stopped* producing cars during the war. Chart belowpic.twitter.com/JCmFBX2gjq
It's hard to imagine today the US telling a company like Google to just stop maintaining its search engine, and pivot entirely into something else. Or to imagine what it would take for us all to get behind that kind of government intervention
Recommend Arsenal of Democracy. It's good reminder of what definite optimism can look like. Even more so, it's good reminder of how much we operate at very low levels of alignment May we never be forced to be that aligned. But may we always seek it during better times
"Bomb us"? Germany never had bombers that could reach the US and also later half of the war, focusing on producing day and night fighters, not bombers.
UK but agreed
That’s called having your cake and eating it too
And bombing it too
Ah yes bombing the cake in addition to eating it...all-star American innovation at work
This is such a disturbing statement. Like, live or die, dont matter, gonna get paid either way.
