Sketches in History | One Bomber Every 63 Minutes

Sketches in History | One Bomber Every 63 Minutes

Welcome back to Sketches in History! This segment, just for kids, shows that history isn't just a story, it's an adventure. Join Lottie Archer as she dives into her extraordinary notebook, where sketches from history come to life!

In this episode, Lottie finds a small piece of metal on her grandfather's desk, shiny silver on top and duller gray underneath, a row of tiny holes punched through it in a perfectly straight line, with a tag that reads "Willow Run. April 1944. One every sixty-three minutes." In this episode, your kids will discover what it looks like when a country builds a finished airplane faster than a single class period at school, why a woman saving bacon grease in a coffee tin can be part of the same enormous job as a mile-long factory, and how millions of ordinary people pulling in the same direction at the same time can change the world.

Listen and subscribe to the 15-Minute History podcast to hear Sketches in History every other Thursday. Got a favorite historical moment? Share it with us at 15minutehistory@gmail.com, and it might just make its way into the notebook!
