Inside Pratt & Whitney: 38,000 Workers Built 363,000 Engines Powering Every Corsair

Описание: At 6:47 a.m. on December 24, 1925, a quiet engine test in a borrowed corner of a factory ignited one of the most critical industrial efforts of the twentieth century. This is the story of Pratt & Whitney, and of its founder Frederick Rentschler, who transformed precision engineering into the backbone of Allied air power during World War II.

From the first sputter of the original Wasp engine to the thunderous roar of the R-2800 Double Wasp, this documentary follows the people behind the machines—thousands of men and women in East Hartford working around the clock, mastering tolerances measured in ten-thousandths of an inch, knowing a single error could cost a pilot his life.

These engines powered legendary aircraft such as the F4U Corsair, F6F Hellcat, P-47 Thunderbolt, and B-24 Liberator, helping secure air superiority across both the Pacific and Europe.

More than a story of machines, this is a memorial to the workers whose names history forgot—but whose precision, endurance, and sacrifice shaped the outcome of a global war.
