Message: [QUOTE="AZHuskiePop, post: 4688989, member: 1609"] I saw the story the other day on Instagram an incredible coincidence. It does point out how important Ct was to the war effort and how mighty its manufacturing base . There a Video on YouTube of a Navy Pilot from Stratford landing his Corsair fighter at Bridgeport Airport which was then adjacent to the Chance Vaught / Sirkorsky plant we he had been employed and his mom was still working . The MC was Tiny Markle who I remember on WICC . Every factory large and small was making something for the war effort . For Brass City residents million of shell cartridges were produced in that city . Almost no consumer products were produced anywhere . in fact things were rationed . My daughters family , coffee snobs , were surprised a family could only buy 1lb of coffee every 5 weeks . [/QUOTE]
