How to assemble a P-47

A link to a 1943 Army Air Corps Training Video on how to assemble a P-47 in the field without lifting apparatus

 

and using only basic mechanics tools. This was a really well thought-out procedure. No computer aided design in those days either.

Not knocking HSE, but if they had to apply all the rules we have today, they'd still be building it and the Germans would have won!

I sometimes wonder how would a war of that scale look like today, with all of today's equipment that can hardly roll out of the hangar if it doesn't have a full maintenance team supporting it.

 

Imagine having to take a F35 out of a crate and assemble it, or maintain a modern tank when your supply lines are flaky at best.

 

I guess it would end pretty quickly or we'd revert to WW2 tech or worse shortly after.
