Where on the map is 
AVCO CITY
and what does it do for America's defense?

Avco City is actually 20 Avco installations in 16 cities in 9 states, including 14 manufacturing plants with outstanding facilities for research and development, product engineering, and manufacturing in these areas: 

ELECTRONICS • POWER PLANTS • AIR-FRAME COMPONENTS • PRECISION PARTS

Approximately 40% of Avco City facilities are devoted to meeting today's defense needs in such activities as propulsion, metallurgy, aerodynamics, radar, guidance, optics, and nuclear energy. 

More important-in a national emergency-the major part of the facilities are readily convertible to all-out defense production. These facilities are now devoted to such familiar products as Crosley appliances, Lycoming engines, Bendix home laundry equipment, New Idea, Horn, Ezee Flow farm equipment, and American Kitchens.

When you visit the Air Force Association's Airpower Panorama, be sure to see the defense work by Avco Defense and Industrial Products.

VISIT THE AVCO "TWINS" at the Avco Defense and Industrial Products exhibit, 1955 National Aircraft Show, Philadelphia International Airport, September 3, 4, 5.
