Very nice. This is much more detailed than the usual descriptions. For example the flow diagram, showing the order in which parts were attached.
Please post anything similar, if you find them.

Added: I see the same article, but in a less useful format, here: LiTOT: Producing the B-25 Bomber

It is from a web page called Legends in Their Own Time. The webmaster has a collection of magazines from the period, and on request he can scan specific articles. I don't know his fees, and I don't know if he is still active - I did not see any dates on the web site so it could be 10 years old. Legends In Their Own Time

To complement the B-25 article here is one on NAA's general factory layout and policies.
