In the summer movie, Iron Man, Robert Downey JR plays Tony Stark, an heir to an immensely successful "state-of-the-art" munitions corporation.  What caught my eye about half way though the movie was a blownup photograph to the rear-left of his corporate office desk (as the viewer would see it) of one of a series of pics taken in December 1942 and January 1943 on th "K" Assembly Line of the B-24E at Willow Run.  The actual picture is from the Henry Ford Museum Collection and also a similar one can be seen on-line in the Library of Congress Collection (link attached).  It is shown several times during the end of the movie where many scenes are filmed in the office.  (As an aside, on the right-rear side is a pic of a B-17G at a Boeing Plant, but I am not sure of the pic).  I have attached a pic of the same "K" line within the same time frame.  Also, the movie was quite enjoyable!  Best Regards!  Steven

Found the actual pic.  Although there are several different  pics from this time period, the "ladder" in the pic (right center) gave it away.  Best Regards!  Steven
