During World War II, Georgia, as a part of the United States, actively participated in the war effort. Many Georgians served in the military, and the state hosted several military bases where soldiers were trained. The Bell Aircraft Corporation in Marietta, Georgia, played a crucial role in producing B-29 Superfortress bombers for the war. Additionally, the city of Savannah served as an important port for shipping supplies and troops overseas. Governor Ellis Arnall also played a key role in mobilizing the state for the war effort.
