The cities of Los Angeles and San Diego were boomtowns during World War II.
California aviation companies designed many of the greatest combat aircraft of the era, and bustling armies of women
and men helped quickly churn them out by the thousands. An astounding 41 percent of all US warplanes came from California
drawing boards during the war. These planes saw combat service everywhere from the deserts of North Africa
to the frozen tundra of Alaska. Southern California planes were the first to bomb Japan.
