Well, ya....but...at least our cans came in two tactical colours. Despite their manufacturing power the yanks could only manage aluminum coloured B-24s and monochrome O.D. M4s.
There's utube videos of wartime B-24 and B-29 manufacturing, and also one for Lee tanks in Detroit I've found. Simply amazing to watch. I'm going to search for our POL assembly plant film, surely it's out there somewhere and will be fascinating.
