2The Story of Willow Run is a success story--the life history of a small community, the Bomber City that had sprung up in World War II. It tells what a group of returning veterans and their families did to make into a progressive, thriving settlement. Who are the people of Willow Run? What were their needs, their problems? How did they accept and meet the challenge of making a home town for themselves? Marion F. Wilson tells their story--a tribute to American pioneering courage. Today, Willow Run Village is growing into a permanent community, proud of its schools, its churches, playgrounds, shops, and homes--and, above all, its community spirit.
