Video Description

DPTV documents the work to save the factory that was part of the massive Willow Run complex in Ypsilanti that turned out a B-24 bomber every hour in WWII. Currently known as the Yankee Air Museum, the builders share their vision for the National Museum of Aviation and Technology with new learning programs and exhibits that will live inside the historic factory's walls.
