Outdoor Assembly Speeds Plane Production

Item

To keep up with its rush of orders for military planes, the Consolidated Aircraft Corporation has moved the assembly line outdoors at its San Diego plant. This allows more room for production indoors. The company is concentrating on three types, a mammoth four-engine flying boat, a two-engine patrol bomber and a four-engine bomber for the army. The engines of these huge planes are rated at 1,200 horsepower each, giving them high speed and a wide cruising range, They carry crews of six to nine men.
