The Cold War and Pentagon dollars fund the explosive growth of modern Los Angeles and create the military-industrial complex.

Summary

Southern California establishes itself as the undisputed aviation capital of the world, from the 1910 Los Angeles Air Meet to becoming America’s “arsenal of democracy” during World War II, led by Jack Northrop, Glenn Martin, and Donald Douglas. Critics see an unhealthy alliance developing between the federal government and aircraft manufacturers.
