  • Great video, great subject matter. The guy hammering on the rusty roof looking up at it around 37:45 will regret not wearing safety glasses when he gets a small piece of rust in his eye.

  • The first fire engine I was assigned to was a 1942 Ford COE with a Marmon-Harrington four wheel drive conversion. It had a 4 speed tranny, V-8 and was a "crew cab" design and in the summer it got so hot in the cab back seat occupants would frequently get sick.

We stopped mass producing motor vehicles for the public in favor of military equipment....planes, tanks, half-tracks, Jeeps, etc. The first Liberty Ship built took 230 days to complete and by 45 we were pumping out 4 a day.
