I take issue with your McDonnell Douglas comment. I was there for many years. And then at Boeing. McDonnell had an engineering culture not bean counter. And was very focused on system quality. F15, F18, C17, JDAM are just a few dominant examples. DC10 problems came from counterfeit that slipped into aftermarket supply chain.
I’m a huge fan of your thinking and writing, and I wanted to share 2 books that I think you’d enjoy given this list. And because I’d love to read your take on them! In the themes of America and defense - Poverty, by America by Matthew Desmond and The Contest Over National Security by Peter Roady.
Interesting to see your approach and thoughts on acquiring knowledge, both on a personal level but also at Contrary. Looking forward to more posts like these, explaining behind the scenes the research process that you follow.
At the same time, I am curious whether you highlight within the books you read or you take notes while reading them? How do you retain or come back to all this knowledge, so that you can apply it in times that is needed?
