This is the history of the Ford Motor Company's achievements and products during World Wars I and II. It demonstrates how, in addition to well-known contributions like jeeps, Eagle Boats and B-24 Liberators, Ford also produced key items ranging from squad tents and the ultra precision gun director to tanks and aircraft engines. Details on each product and how Ford produced it are included. During both wars, the automotive giant used precision manufacturing methods and innovative designs and procedures to increase quantity and quality while lowering production costs.
Army veteran Timothy J. O’Callaghan retired from the Ford Motor Company after 40 years in management. He has written extensively on Ford history in magazines and journals, and has written two books about Henry and Edsel Ford’s aviation ventures. He lives in Northville, Michigan.
