Chrysler and the X-100 project
I wanted to post this way earlier, but forgot about it. I was reading the Mopar Collectors Guide issue June 2013 (Mopar Collector's Guide Magazine) and found an pretty interesting article. I had no idea that Chrysler was involved in building the atom bomb. Apparently there's a book written about it, called SECRET and has a foreword from K.T. Keller (President). Copyright, Chrysler Corporation, 1947.
Couldn't find this article online, so I took a picture. If you have a hard time reading it b/c of the size send me an email (or PM me your email) and I will send you a humongous file

I own that book, along with another Chrysler "Wartime" Publication
"Tanks are Mighty Fine Things"
I have a small collection of books that were published during
& soon before/after World War II

One of my Hobbies in my Younger days
was searching Used Book stores
for WWII Era Books
I think I have had it for 25 years
The most interesting part of the book (of many)
is pictures of the Warships after the Able & Baker Tests
