My dad worked for Consolidated Aircraft
Corporation circa 1943. I still have his Kennedy toolbox with a placard that
reads, “Dub Warriner, Consolidated
Aircraft Corporation.” Fortunately, I have been able to keep all the
vintage tools that he worked with in the wood fab wing department. I started
working for General Dynamics in February 1988. I worked in the F-16 sheet metal
wing dept. drilling and assembling spars and ribs in the wing frame.
