There is also this 2009 publication: "Ford in the Service of America: Mass Production for the Military During the World Wars by Timothy O'callaghan". I am not sure if this is just a reprint of the 1943 publication, or whether it has added text and photos:

Quote:
This is the history of the Ford Motor Company's achievements and products during World Wars I and II. It demonstrates how, in addition to well-known contributions like jeeps, Eagle Boats and B-24 Liberators, Ford also produced key items ranging from squad tents and the ultra precision gun director to tanks and aircraft engines. Details on each product and how Ford produced it are included. During both wars, the automotive giant used precision manufacturing methods and innovative designs and procedures to increase quantity and quality while lowering production costs.
