Did you know that U-2 pilots trained in Arizona? How did companies like Motorola become economic powerhouses? Journal of Arizona History author Jason H. Gart will explore the crucial early post-World War II period when the rise of the defense industry dramatically changed Arizona’s economy. From electronics and aerospace to manufacturing and production facilities, learn how these well-known (and some secret CIA!) entities operated throughout communities in the state.
