Nelson the Master of Mobilization in War Production
Pyonate M Nelson is described as a master of mobilizing industry for war. Raised from Sears & Roebuck, he was tapped by Washington in 1940 to coordinate arms supply for France and Britain. By 1942 he chaired the War Production Board, wielding broad authority over the entire armament effort, known for slogan signs like Time Is Short.
