“Tanks Are Mighty Fine Things!‪”‬

When America entered the Second World War, Chrysler's engineers had never built a tank. Within months, they were building them by the thousands. Tanks Are Mighty Fine Things is the inside story of the Detroit Tank Arsenal — where automobile assembly lines were transformed into an arsenal of democracy and Sherman and Pershing tanks rolled out by the tens of thousands to help turn the tide in North Africa and Europe. Packed with rare detail, plain-spoken pride, and the unstoppable energy of a nation that out-built its enemies and won, this 1946 classic is one of the most readable accounts of American wartime industrial production ever written.
