From the September 22, 2013, Daily Mail "In pictures: The eerie factory tunnel safe from German bombers where workers built the military might for Britain to defeat Hitler."
Britain's Birmingham Longbridge site, p[ride of Britain's auto industry. Shadow Factory tunnels planned by Lord Austin. Where Merlin engines were produced that powered Spitfires and Hawker Hurricanes.
At the peak, there were 26 Shadow Factories. Expecting war, Britain started building them in 1936.
After the war, the tunnels were abandoned.

The USS North Carolina (BB-55) My all-time favorite warship. As an elementary school student in North Carolina, I donated nickels and dimes to save this ship back in the early sixties.
