First Sunday Lecture Series: The Lockheed Plant

Marietta Daily Journal editor Joe Kirby spoke on his recently published book, "The Lockheed Plant" (Arcadia Publishing, 2011).  Mr. Kirby has written two books on the rise of the local aeronautics industry, "The Bell Bomber Plant" and "The Lockheed Plant." 

His slide/talk focused on the history of the Lockheed facility and the transformational impact that the Marietta industrial complex, which at its height employed more than 30,000 workers, had upon surrounding communities like Smyrna.
