DESCRIPTION:
New York published Military History - Naval
Both look at defense contracting and both are histories but this is a more usual narrative history. One might wish for a fuller account of the Convair aircraft division of GD but well told are the blunders of the jetliner decision that took GD out of the civil market altogether. Interesting and recommended for general readers.Gerald N. Franklin traces the firm's history from early days of the Electric Boat Company and the first subs to the most recent projects. From Library Journal Franklin's book is another study of General Dynamics, following Jacob Goodwin's Brotherhood of Arms ( LJ 8/85).
