Alison Beatty

Did you know that in 1944 a B-24 bomber rolled off of Willow Run's production lines every 60 minutes? Isn't that crazy? How did they do that? That success was largely due to the women that worked at the plant, known as Rosie the Riveters. This week on The Aeronut Podcast, Alison Beatty joins me to discuss the history of women workers at Willow Run, as well as some of the history of the plant as well, and how they got the production lines up to speed. Hold on to your hats, it's aviation history time! We go on to cover the Tribute Rosie's that Alison is a part of, who honor these incredible women year round in parades, airshows, and more. We go on to discuss world record attempts, lunchbox drill teams, and much much more, all right here on The Aeronut Podcast.
