Fisher Body shifted to making aircraft parts, bomber fuselages, and gun turrets. Cadillac built engines and transmissions for tanks like the M5 Stuart and M24 Chaffee. Chevrolet manufactured military trucks, engines, and aircraft components. Pontiac produced anti-aircraft guns and naval hardware. Oldsmobile made artillery pieces and gun mounts, including 37mm and 40mm cannons. Buick supplied tank destroyer and aircraft engines, notably for the M18 Hellcat. Together, these divisions made GM a cornerstone of the wartime production machine.
