Скачать или смотреть From 3,611 to 96,270: America’s Aircraft Miracle (1940–1944)

In 1940, the United States produced just 3,611 military aircraft. Four years later, that number had exploded to 96,270 in a single year—a transformation so vast it reshaped the outcome of World War II.

This documentary tells the story of America’s aircraft miracle: how an unprepared nation reinvented industrial production, turned farmland into mile-long assembly lines, and outbuilt Nazi Germany on a scale no one thought possible. From the bold demand for 50,000 planes a year to factories delivering a bomber every hour, this is the hidden war behind the war—the production battle that decided the skies over Europe.

You’ll see how mass production replaced craftsmanship, how feedback from combat reached factory floors in days, how women and first-time workers became the backbone of aviation, and why ideology blinded German leadership to the industrial reality forming across the Atlantic.

This isn’t just a story about numbers.
It’s a story about systems, adaptability, and why factories—not just front lines—won the war.

If you want to understand how industry became a weapon, how democracy mobilized at scale, and how production overwhelmed strategy, this is the story you need to hear.

The Arsenal of Democracy didn’t just meet the challenge.
It buried tyranny under aluminum, steel, and math.
