520 1 $a"Unique among military and social histories of the World War II-era military-industrial complex, Embry-Riddle at War examines the many components of aeronautical training, the evolution of a civilian company contributing to the war effort, the experiences and lives of those who participated In the school, and the crucial role Florida played in the war. This military and social history also examines the lives of women trained to work in aircraft factories, to become pilots, or to serve as flight Instructors. By 1944, twenty-six thousand people received training from Embry-Riddle. But in the years after the war, lucrative government contracts dried up and a large hurricane sparked a fire that damaged untold amounts of property and planes, leaving the company struggling to adjust to peacetime civilian aeronautics." "Stephen Craft mines archival sources and the rich treasure trove of personal memories of the men who fought the greatest air war in history. Interviews with those who graduated from wartime Embry-Riddle bring the story to life with rich and telling detail."--BOOK JACKET.
