Founded by Reuben H. Fleet in 1923, Consolidated Aircraft
Corporation (later Convair) became one of the most significant
aircraft manufacturers in American history. For roughly 60 years,
this prolific company was synonymous with San Diego. In fact, whole
sections of the city were designed to provide homes for the Convair
workers and their families. These men and women were responsible
for building some of the most significant aircraft in aviation
history, including the PBY Catalina, B-24 Liberator, F-102 Delta
Dagger, as well as the reliable Atlas missile, which was vital in
launching America into space. To this day, more than a decade after
the company passed from the San Diego scene, tens of thousands of
San Diegans still celebrate a seminal connection with Reuben Fleet,
his company, and his popular slogan, "Nothing short of right is
right."
