I found this today, it was produced by General Motors and it highlights Dayton Ohio GM plants. It shows the Inland plant making M1 Carbines. I hope you enjoy! Internet Archive: Free Download: Victory Is Our Business

Man! That was thrilling - hearing the announcer talk about 'sending them (our enemies) to hell'. Imagine if somebody had the guts to say that today. Imagine if the people of America ever got behind anything again in such a unified way. Other than watching 'Idol' or disrespecting President Bush, I mean. We are in such a bad way compared to 1943 or even 1963.
INLAND44, I fear those days are gone. It hurts me as it does you, but I think those days are gone until the citizens find themselves in another true do-or-die situation again. We're probably there, but it'll be awhile before the people and the press recognize it.
Thanks PBI ... :)
Nice find ... Interesting film...

I'm sure Honda and Nissan would do the same now, if needed. Wouldn't they?
Yes they would in a heart beat and not apologize to anyone.
General Motors was versatile, their Guide Lamp Division made my Liberator pistol.

It never ceases to amaze me all the great toys you come up with Jim! :bow:
Great movie, PBI. Did anyone notice that some of the lady machinists were wearing pearls?
They do a weekly feature on Cam Edward's "Cam & Company/NRA News" with the curator of the National Firearms Museum. He talked about actually firing his own Liberator, and told of the tendency of the firearm to suffer stress fractures within a few rounds. There were around a million of these firearms produced, in the feature they said the pistol was supplied more to the Pacific theater than to Europe. I'd love to own one, based on their ties to local history, but given the present selling price (likely sure to rise in the future) I guess I'll never own one.
