@ottovonbismarck2443 Wrong, cheapest bidder is not always true, and in WW2 it wasn't the case. In WW2 is was largely and issue of capacity, same as Germany. The company that designed the aircraft, didn't have capacity to deliver the number needed themselves to fulfill the gov orders. so the gov forced them to allow others to manufacture the difference.
Gov doesn't always own the rights or blueprints to a design, Case example: F-22. Gov has learned from that and has changed the requirements of the NGAD contract accordingly. But, in wartime, the gov can do things it can't do in peacetime (at least for the US, each country has its own quirks).
One factory did produce at less than capacity in WW2 in the US, Allison. They were capable of producing even more engines than they did, but there were vested interests that didn't want the Allison developed or used more than it was.
