During World War II, Boeing created a huge number of bombers. Many of the workers who worked at that time were women whose husbands had gone to the front. In early March 1944, production was expanded and more than three hundred and fifty aircraft were produced monthly. To prevent air attacks, the roofs of the factories were covered with greenery and objects that simulate that this is not a factory, but a simple village. During these war years, the main US aviation companies began to unite. The B-17 Flying Fortress bomber, developed by Boeing, was also assembled at Douglas Aircraft and Lockheed Aircraft, and the B-29 was also assembled at the Bell Aircraft Glenn L. Martin factories.
