I'll check out Freedom's Forge.

I just finished Churchill's The Gathering Storm last week actually, and it impressed upon me the cost to Great Britian from not only taking a passive political role, but a passive armament role leading up to WWII.

I have real doubts that we will have to go into a full mobilization in the next couple of decades, but, who knows with that crazy Euro... Even so, the Big 3 infrastructure was a massive advantage to the War effort. I'm sure Boeing is "Too strategic to Fail" as well.
