ON SOUTH END: The hangar pictured above, a rear view, is located on the south end of Willow Run airfield. Built adjacent to the huge Ford bomber plant, which now houses the Kaiser-Frazer Corporation and Graham-Paige Motors, the airport contains six major runways besides the three hangars. The airport is located on an express highway, 30 miles west of Detroit, and has been idle since the war.

WILLOW RUN STILL ACTIVE: An estimated 62 per cent of the domestic air travel at Detroit now passes through Willow Run Airport, the main base for commercial airlines since 1946, although four carriers have switched to Detroit Metropolitan Airport since last Oct 1. Still undecided is the question of whether the remaining seven airlines will move away from Willow Run, thus abandoning the airfield as a commercial airport. The Wayne-Washtenaw counties, north-south dividing line, passes in front (east) of the terminal and the adjacent Detroit Transmission Division plant.
