Heinemann was born in Saginaw, Michigan, but moved to California as a boy and was raised in Los Angeles. A self-taught engineer, he joined Douglas Aircraft as a draftsman in 1926, but was laid off within a year. After stints at International Aircraft, Moreland Aircraft, and Northrop, Heinemann rejoined Douglas when it acquired Northrop. Heinemann became Douglas's Chief Engineer in 1936. He remained with the company through 1960, when he left to join Guidance Technology. In 1962 he joined General Dynamics as Corporate Vice President of Engineering. In this position he oversaw the development of the F-16. He retired in 1973. His approach to aircraft design was uncomplicated, once saying that he simply took the most powerful engine available and designed the aircraft around it.

The Essex Aircraft Carriers

Faltum, Andrew

Having appeared in two hardcover editions, Miller's single-volume account is published in paper to mark the 225th anniversary of the Continental Navy. He had an advantage over earlier naval historians because the Navy was collecting scattered primary documents into a central archive at the time of the US bicentennial. Annotation c.
