In 1946, the Connecticut State Library Department of War Records asked companies statewide to write about their WWII adjustments, challenges, and achievements. For the first time, you can now read a representative number of these personal industry narratives. Companies include Electric Boat, Pratt & Whitney, Bullard Machine Tool Company, Associated Spring, Remington, and Singer.
• Management explains how it converted facilities, switched to war manufacturing, confronted labor and materials shortages, and reconverted for postwar success.
• Industries narrate how they innovated in less time than thought possible.
• Examples of all industrial areas—textiles to land, sea, and aircraft production—and work accomplished in all eight Connecticut counties.
• Sidebars provide info on products made—from military boots, bazookas, pilot gravity suits, and engines to radar.
Perfect for young adult and adult readers and educational curricula
