 WWII Aircraft Manufacturing Sites

The purpose of this grouping of related pages is to document which aviation company in WWII built what aircraft and at which location.  We are still in the process of gathering data and completing several of the pages.

Goodyear at Akron Futon Airport - Both Corsairs and Airships were built at this site.  Today it is owned by
Lockheed-Martin. The building to the left of the Airdock is where the Corsairs were assembled. 

The bulk of the information presented is in regards to the manufacture of fixed wing aircraft in the United States where the aircraft companies are listed in alphabetical order.  The corresponding cross reference shows details which company built what aircraft at which locations.  This includes Canadian locations as the Canadian aircraft industry was not only building aircraft for the Common Wealth but license built American aircraft for use by both the USAAF and US Navy.  Canadian built Helldivers were part of the US Navy aerial attack force that sunk the Yamato.

Also included is information on engine, propeller, airship and glider manufacture, along with photos of some of the manufacturing plants as they still exist today.  Some of the pages are more complete than others as so check back at later dates as we continue to search for and update information on the manufacturing sites.
