GPT-5 mini · Answer

The best answer: to help factories shift from making consumer goods to making war materials.

Brief explanation: The U.S. War Production Board (established 1942) coordinated and supervised industrial production for WWII — converting civilian plants to war manufacture, allocating raw materials and priorities, and setting production goals and quotas. It did not itself handle overseas shipping (that was handled by other agencies) nor was it primarily an R&D agency for new weapons.
