Willow Run Bomber Plant (Rosie the Riveter Inspiration)

Willow Run Bomber Plant (Rosie the Riveter Inspiration)


Ypsilanti, Michigan (MI), US
The Willow Run manufacturing complex, located between Ypsilanti and Belleville, Michigan, was constructed in the early years of World War II by Ford Motor Company for the mass production of the B-24 Liberator heavy bomber.

The women working at the plant were the inspiration for Rosie the Riveter, a cultural icon of the United States, representing the American women who worked in factories during World War II, many of whom produced munitions and war supplies.
