I'm always looking for dots to connect.
More dots to connect...for every plane that was churned out of Henry's plant, someone had to crew it. So for every plane, someone, somewhere, had to provide the necessary people to man it, at the rate of one crew every 55 minutes.
So there had to be tutors in sufficient numbers to educate the flying personnel, the ground crew to maintain the aircraft, someone to feed them, someone to build and maintain the landing facilities...the logistics are mind blowing...
