The transition from a free market peace time economy to a centrally directed war time economy was neither smooth nor fully planned. Be that as it may when the economy was fully on a war time footing it delivered on time, in full and below estimate. The transition back to a free market economy was equally difficult for all concerned. The outboards from just before and just after WW2 in some cases show expedient material or design changes
Factory and post factory changes allow us to see history a little more clearly at the grass roots level. Written and the real history experienced day to day are seldom the same story.
