Part of an interesting sounding 3-part program this coming Saturday at the WWII American Experience museum. I'll go on at 2 with a talk about how we geared up for WWII. From a standing start (basically, a 150,000 man army armed with World War I weapons in 1937), we created a 16 million person armed forces and out-produced the rest of the world. The story of how we did that is one of the great accomplishments of the 20th century.
Come on out, it should be a great series of talks.
