Connecticut Industries Unite for WWII Victory presented by Sharon Cohen.  This talk will provide a close up look at some of the many innovations that Connecticut contributed to the war effort such as barrage balloons, military gliders and bazooka guns as well as more ordinary things such as blankets, boots and armaments.  In addition, Connecticut contributed to many technical advances involved in Pratt and Whitney’s engines, Electric Boat’s submarines and Sikorsky’s helicopters.
