Southern California establishes itself as the undisputed aviation capital of the world, from the 1910 Los Angeles Air Meet to becoming America’s “arsenal of democracy” during World War II, led by Jack Northrop, Glenn Martin, and Donald Douglas. Critics see an unhealthy alliance developing between the federal government and aircraft manufacturers.

EP2 The Big Chill Aug 01, 2019

EP4 Back to the Future Aug 02, 2019

The end of the Cold War brings massive layoffs, but tech billionaires choose Southern California to launch their space companies, injecting new vigor to the industry in the region. Though committed to the "democratization" of space, SpaceX and Virgin Orbit include the Pentagon as a major customer.
