I'll see what I can find, but this is a good comparison that can be reflected in the Tiger-vs-Sherman tanks. The Tiger was hands-down preferred, but in the time it took to produce one Tiger, the big automakers could produce a dozen Shermans...or more.
i think the 1944 p-51 took only a couple hours with enough supplies
It only took a few hours to build a P-51???
This of course was with everyone waking up on time right?
Let's start with cost in WW II currencies and production in man-hours for:
Me-109 (by model and year)
FW-190 (ditto)

Chris - I think he meant that a 51 rolled off the combined assembly lines every couple of hours. At peak it was probably 1/hr off a 100 ship assembly line (guesstimation).
Actually the rate was probaly averaging around 20-25/day in 1944/45 until the B/C/D/K lines stopped
maybe i don't understand, you tell that production time for P-51 it's a couple of hours because the factory build 20/25 at day?
if so this it's wrong, a factory can build 20 planes at day and need 3 months for build a complete plane (each day it's end the 20 planes started 3 months before) and an other factory can buil 5 planes at day and need only a week for build a plane ( each day it's end the 5 planes started a week before)
Are these numbers believeable???
