hello keith
i have only had time to briefly read a few sections of this book, and imho, it is truly something else!! Howe goes into great detail about problems during development, and quotes facts and figures which i have not seen before. there is one interesting chapter on the problem of obtaining rubber for tires, and the combinations tested when developing synthetic tires. this book also get into obtaining raw materials like nickle, iron, aluminum, wood, copper, ect, discusses aircraft production/maintenance, and the same goes for naval craft. so far a great trip back in time!!
