General Dynamic (now Lockheed Martin)was the major producer of cutting edge American aviation technology and products, namely sophistcated bombers and fighter jets, much like today's uber sophisticated and costly Joint Striker jets. Of course, Carswell Airforce Base (now Naval Joint Reserve base) was and continues to be used for testing the technologies and training some some of the best military aviators. <br /><br />The Commies were concerned about the other manufacturers of aviation equipment and technologies located in nearby cities in Tarrant County, especially Bell Helicopter which is the leader in their sector.<br /><br />Oh yea, those Reds were green with envy over all the "world class" things FW leaders brag about, like the powerful purple Horned Frogs of TCU.

That news was both surprising and terrifying since FW has felt in so many ways like a small town, both the positive and negative characteristics that usually attaches to small town life. <br /><br />It was only many years later that I realized why that report made sense. And it had nothing to do with anything that would make "the world green with envy." <br /><br />Can you guess why small-towny little ol' FW made for such a prime target for Soviet bombs?Jerrynoreply@blogger.com
