5.+The+Role+of+Industry

Dear Journal, 3/6/1945   Today I was working in the aerospace industry. I have been working there since the year 1939. when I started working there, “fewer than 6,000 planes a year were being produced” (Rumerman). In 1941, in the first half of the year, over 7,433 plains have been made. not only did aerospace make plains, other companies made parts for the plains that we needed. “A maker of mechanical pencils turned out bomb parts”(Danzer et al). Other companies did other thing for the war too. other companies like the shipyards were building ships at an alarming rate. During the entire war, the industries “turned out more than 300,000 aircraft, 88,410 tanks and 2,382,311 jeeps and trucks”(WikiAnswers). This was all done for the war. I’m sorry journal, but I had a long day working in the shop making plain propellers. And if I want to make it in for my shift tomorrow night I need to go to bed   Danzer, Gerald A., et al. __The Americans__. Page 573. McDougal Littell Inc., 2003. Rumerman, Judy.
