The Dallas based Austin Bridge Company on Singleton Blvd was contracted by the US government to produce incendiary bombs. They employed 1200 people, 85% of whom were women. Working in three shifts, they manufactured 29,524,975 magnesium bombs. The factory blew up between shifts on the night of Dec. 15, 1943. A pilot flying over Houston, 250 miles away reported seeing the flash. The building was quickly rebuilt and back in production until August 14,1945 when Japan sued for peace.
