Does time fly or what? I started this series last year and this is the next installment.
As you know the US government asked and eventually forced the auto industry to contribute to the war effort. This series is to highlight some of the major contributions. This time is Nash.
As many know, Nash was a premier car manufacturer prior to the war.
Here is their 1942 Nash Ambassador
During the war Nash used it plant in Kenosha, Wisconsin to produce engines for (among others) my favorite aircraft of all time…the Corsair.
The WWII Corsair.
Nash build the Pratt & Whitney engines that powered this awesome aircraft.
Nash produced Pratt and Whitney Aircraft Engine
Their work force consisted mainly of women.
Here they are being sworn in at the WI Plant
Later on Nash would morph into the American Motors Company (AMC).
Thanks for reading
