Some sources

edit

https://thereader.mitpress.mit.edu/the-uneasy-alliance-between-aluminum-and-warfare/ has more good stuff in it. "From Monopoly to Competition: The Transformations of Alcoa, 1888–1986" (ISBN 978-0521352611) looks like a great specific source, though it appears to be out of print. If anyone can find a copy at their library or used book seller, that'd be great, as Amazon wanted an arm and a leg for a copy. CaptainEek Edits Ho Cap'n! 02:47, 23 February 2024 (UTC)Reply

Mellon

It is amazing that there is no mention of the prominent role of Andrew Mellon. RichardBond (talk) 01:41, 28 July 2025 (UTC)Reply
