The company that Leroy Grumman founded in 1929 has been linking with the aircraft of the US Navy since 1930. Grumman aircraft have been in every major conflict from the Second World War through Korea and Vietnam to the Gulf and Bosnia. Their factory in Bethpage, Long Island, New York, (affectionately known as the 'Ironworks') produced some of the best carrier-borne aircraft ever made including the TBM Avenger (most successful torpedo bomber of all time), the Hellcat and Wildcat as well as the F-14 Tomcat and A-6 Intruder. Grumman-built Lunar Modules were used in the Apollo space missions and successfully landed men on the moon. The Ironworks is a comprehensive history of the Grumman Corporation and its many aircraft, both civil and military. -- Back cover.

The Thames Ironworks
Author: Brian Belton
Publisher: The History Press
ISBN: 0750965797
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 240
Book Description
Located in the heart of London’s East End the Thames Ironworks might be described as characteristic of the industrial and social landscape of the Victorian era. This successful enterprise, under the respected Hills family, undertook projects in civil engineering, electrical engineering, shipping and motoring. But as well as providing employment, the ironworks was also central to the social lives of its workers. Its football team, founded by Arnold Hills in 1895, was destined to become world-famous as West Ham United. Author Brian Belton explores how the Victorian values of commercialism, religion, philanthropy and patriarchy that made this giant of industry a success were inextricably linked with a sense of fair play, competitive spirit and the growth of football as a national obsession.Peppered with the songs and memories of a treasured cockney region, this is an entertaining portrait of ships, industry, sport and, most of all, the people of the Docklands communities that relied on the Ironworks for their daily bread.
