In the beginning of this war there was no improved technology that could help ease the fighting of Americans against the war . Most aircraft factories relied on traditional hand-crafted processes which enhanced quick production and frequent designing

This work force required high skilled workers who

There were many shortages of resources in areas that were critical under which production stopped on many items such as automobiles , new houses and new appliances in this situation many commodities such as meat sugar , coffee , tires and clothing were rationed
