[History Hounds] Michigan Made: WWII Gliders and Ford Motor Company with Kenneth Hafeli, Audiovisual Archivist (Ret.)

In early 1942, the Ford Motor Company body plant in Iron Mountain faced closure. Through the determination of the plant's superintendent and company executives in Dearborn, Ford received a contract to build CG-4A Gliders for Allied forces. Join us to learn about this Michigan-made product that helped win the Second World War.
