...post-Sputnik missile and satellite surge, felt its fortunes sag. As recently as 1964, the management consultant firm of Arthur D. Little, Inc., declared flatly: "Aerospace is no longer a growing market." Today the Little expert who presided over that report readily admits: "The Viet Cong made a liar out of me."
