looking for man-hour cost of helicopters, planes, ships and other stuff

[yamato2cz]

I found few sources for WW2 tanks and other land equipment, but not so much for planes or ships, let alone helicopters or early/late cold war equipment. Monetary cost of the equipment is easier to find, but its pretty hard to come up with reasonable man-hour cost from monetary cost.

Reason for search-Comparing Hearts of Iron 4 production costs. Also im making a mod and i can only eyeball the cost, but for some equipment like flyers or ships i just dont have enough knowledge.

example:

Figures taken from Table E5, Harrison, Accounting for War, Cambridge University Press, 2002.

Year/hours worked per unit of output

The Cold War era was never a total war situation where maximum production was critical and millions of soldiers were mobilized to foreign lands. Tracking man hours of labor was never critical for either side, and would have varied greatly over the years and at different plants even for the same items at the same time. Costs on the other hand are always relevant.
