Re: This Day in Automotive History 3/28/1941: Ford breaks ground for Willow Run plan
I had never heard of the "Tax Turn" before so I Googled it. Let me get this straight, Ford was concerned about a few extra $$$ so he had the length of the factory revised? How did Joe Lunchbox feel when he found out? Sons, brothers, husbands going off to war, let alone the many ladies that served, rationing, shortages of the most basic items, sacrifices galore and Ford with his cubic money needed more? Tycoons, financiers, and politicians always seem to catch a break and the little guy eats the big one. Some things never change. I hope this is just one of those "urban legends".
