It is interesting to read the Wiki story of Willow Run and the Consolidated B24 'flying coffin'.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Willow_Run
According to the story a difficult start up and many aircraft produced often requiring costly rebuild to accommodate production changes. Henry Ford still had a finger in the pie.
The B17 was apparently a much preferred bomber.
