This collection of photographs and printed material focuses on the major sites and products of the aerospace industry in North Texas primarily in the 1940s and 1950s. Photographs of the General Dynamics plant depict interior and exterior views of the buildings, construction of the B-24 bomber, bombers on the airfield, and women working at the plant in the 1940s. A view of the entrance gate and an aerial of the plant, ca. 1980s, are included. Scenes of Carswell Air Force Base in the 1950s show the entrance gate and a number of buildings on the base. U.S. Air Force Fact Sheets describe the history of the base, the 7th Bombardment Wing, and descriptions of other air force bombers and jets not constructed in the North Texas area. A small selection of LTV products depict aircraft, ca. 1940s-1990s. U.S. Air Force and Navy aircraft photographs give insight into the variety of planes that were utilized, 1938-1991, though not necessarily produced in the North Texas area.
