Member Lawrence Hahn (#0660) would like to recommend a book he recently read. "Ironworks," by Terry C. Treadwell. As the name would imply, the subject of this book is Grumman. Mr. Treadwell has written an excellent and incredibly detailed treatment of the Grumman Corporation and its airplanes (and other products into the space age.) Separate chapters about the different models of aircraft built include descriptions of the differences between dash numbers and even the different versions of power plants used. Anyone who ever worked at Grumman will be fascinated by Mr. Treadwell’s work and some of the anecdotes about the personalities that made Grumman the wonderful company, which it was and will continue to be in the memories of those who even had the pleasure of working there. (As Mr. Hahn did for 35 years.)
