Description
Time Magazine – November 17, 1941 – Vol. 38 No. 20 – Planemaker Reuben Fleet (Good Interior)
This original issue of Time Magazine, dated November 17, 1941, features Reuben H. Fleet, pioneering American aviation industrialist and founder of Consolidated Aircraft, on the cover. As the United States rapidly expanded its defense production ahead of entering World War II, Fleet’s company played a key role in building military aircraft—most notably the B-24 Liberator bomber. This issue offers timely coverage of Fleet’s influence on the aviation industry, wartime manufacturing, and America’s preparedness for global conflict.
In addition to the cover story, the magazine includes wide-ranging reports on international events, U.S. political developments, and cultural topics of the era. It also contains richly illustrated advertisements and editorials that reflect the American mindset just weeks before the attack on Pearl Harbor.
