Download or read book Southern California s World War II Aircraft written by Cory Graff and published by Arcadia Publishing. This book was released on 2016 with total page 128 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "The cities of Los Angeles and San Diego were boomtowns during World War II. California aviation companies designed many of the greatest combat aircraft of the era, and bustling armies of women and men helped quickly churn them out by the thousands. An astounding 41 percent of all US warplanes came from California drawing boards during the war. These planes saw combat service everywhere-from the deserts of North Africa to the frozen tundra of Alaska. Southern California planes were the first to bomb Japan. They turned the tide of the Battle of Midway and dropped paratroopers behind enemy lines on D-Day. They flew tons of fuel, ammunition, and supplies over the treacherous Himalayan Mountains, relentlessly hounded enemy submarines and ships, and helped smash Nazi Germany's war-making industry with "thousand plane raids."' -- From cover.

Download or read book Building Victory written by and published by . This book was released on 2013-10-17 with total page 130 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: World War II was the greatest airborne clash of arms in history. America?s aircraft manufacturers went from a near standing start in the late 1930?s to producing tens of thousands of planes per year. By the end of the war, they built a phenomenal 300,000 planes, a feat that most (including the German high command) thought impossible. They manufactured more aircraft in one year than had been produced in all the pre-war years since the Wright brothers invented the airplane. The Los Angeles area was the center of this remarkable effort, being the headquarters for Douglas Aircraft, Hughes, Lockheed, North American Aviation, Northrop and Vultee, as well as countless subcontractors. Thousands of aircraft workers enlisted or were drafted, leaving manufacturers with huge orders and few experienced employees. They responded by hiring women, students, disabled people and others who might not otherwise have been considered for production positions. Housewives and others with little mechanical experience rolled up their sleeves, learned fast, and brought forth an industrial achievement that ranks among America?s greatest accomplishments. Aircraft manufacturers, museums and libraries have generously opened their special collections of photographs to the author for use in this volume. Many have never been published before.

Download or read book Popular Culture in the Age of White Flight written by Eric Avila and published by Univ of California Press. This book was released on 2006-04 with total page 328 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "In Popular Culture in the Age of White Flight, Eric Avila offers a unique argument about the restructuring of urban space in the two decades following World War II and the role played by new suburban spaces in dramatically transforming the political culture of the United States. Avila's work helps us see how and why the postwar suburb produced the political culture of 'balanced budget conservatism' that is now the dominant force in politics, how the eclipse of the New Deal since the 1970s represents not only a change of views but also an alteration of spaces."—George Lipsitz, author of The Possessive Investment in Whiteness

Download or read book Sunbelt Cities written by Richard M. Bernard and published by University of Texas Press. This book was released on 2014-06-23 with total page 359 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Between 1940 and 1980, the Sunbelt region of the United States grew in population by 112 percent, while the older, graying Northeast and Midwest together grew by only 42 percent. Phoenix expanded by an astonishing 1,138 percent. San Diego, Houston, Dallas–Fort Worth, Tampa, Miami, and Atlanta quadrupled in size. Even a Sunbelt laggard such as New Orleans more than doubled its population. Sunbelt Cities brings together a collection of outstanding original essays on the growth and late-twentieth-century political development of the major metropolitan areas below the thirty-seventh parallel. The cities surveyed are Albuquerque, Atlanta, Dallas–Fort Worth, Houston, Los Angeles, Miami, New Orleans, Oklahoma City, Phoenix, San Antonio, San Diego, and Tampa. Each author examines the economic and social causes of postwar population growth in the city under consideration and the resulting changes in its political climate. Major causes of growth such as changing economic conditions, industrial recruitment, lifestyle preferences, and climate are discussed. Particular attention is paid to the role of the federal government, especially the Pentagon, in encouraging development in the Sunbelt. Describing characteristic political developments of many of these cities, the authors note shifting political alliances, the ouster of machines and business elites from political power, and the rise of minority and neighborhood groups in local politics. Sunbelt Cities is the first full-scale scholarly examination of the region popularly conceived as the Sunbelt. As one of the first works to thoroughly examine a wide range of cities within the region, it has served as a standard reference on the area for some time.

Download or read book The Architecture of Industry written by Mathew Aitchison and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2016-03-16 with total page 222 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From the Rust Belt to Silicon Valley, the intersection between architecture and industry has provided a rich and evolving source for historians of architecture. In a historical context, industrial architecture evokes the smoking factories of the nineteenth century or Fordist production complexes of the twentieth century. This book documents the changing nature of industrial building and planning from the end of the nineteenth century to the beginning of the twenty-first century. Drawing on research from the United States, Europe and Australia, this collection of essays highlights key moments in industrial architecture and planning representative of the wider paradigms in the field. Areas of analysis include industrial production, factories, hydroelectricity, aerospace, logistics, finance, scientific research and mining. The selected case studies serve to highlight architectural and planning innovations in industry and their contributions to wider cultural and societal currents. This richly illustrated collection will be of interest for a wide range of built environment studies, incorporating findings from both historical and theoretical scholarship and design research.
