The Truman Administration and the Enlistment of the Aviation Industry in Postwar Defense*

Donald J. Mrozek

Business History Review, 1974, vol. 48, issue 1, 73-94

Abstract: At the end of World War II, by far the most significant pressure for integrating the aviation industry into national defense planning came neither from the major aircraft firms nor from the military. Instead, the Truman administration played the leading role in forging an important link in what later came to be called the “military-industrial complex.” Smaller businessmen and local politicians proved constant and eager supporters of that policy.
