Detroit's Wartime Industry: Arsenal of Democracy (Images of America: Michigan)
This is the fourth Arcadia book by veteran automotive historian and journalist Michael W. R. Davis, graduate of Yale and Eastern Michigan Universities and former executive director of the Detroit Historical Society. Previous books have related the histories of Chrysler, Ford, and General Motors. Davis, a resident of the Detroit suburb of Royal Oak, is a longtime trustee of the Detroit Public Library’s National Automotive History Collection, the source of many images in this book. He also serves as a director of the Defense Orientation Conference Association, a nonpartisan educational organization of civilians devoted to understanding U.S. defense and foreign policy.
