Sunflower plant boosts rocket powder output for war needs
Lt. Col. Donald Hyde announced Sunflower Ordnance Works has ramped rocket propellant powder production from a few thousand pounds per month to several million, with plans to rise further. Hercules Powder’s H. V. Chase said 3,500 more workers are needed immediately to man the plants as V Day approaches and front lines require missiles. The Sunflower facility supplies rocket and cannon powder for Army and Navy, a cornerstone of wartime munitions.
