The differences in the stock market, the real estate market (both commercial and residential) and the state of the economy between 1929 and 2008 described below draw some obvious conclusions. They are: (1) There will not be another 1929 (at least in the foreseeable future). (2) The stock market is not going away. (3) Any further decline in the Dow Jones Average will be fractional when compared to the decline in 1929. (4) The recovery of the Dow Jones Averages to its prior high (12,099) will happen over a shorter period of time than the recovery after 1929 (25 years). (5) Speculative inventory buildup similar to that of 1929 is unlikely.

The Curtiss-Wright Corporation (1929-Present) and its predecessors, the Curtiss Aeroplane and Motor Company (1916-1929) and the Wright Aeronautical Corporation (1919-1929), pioneered the development of aeronautical power plants. Innovative designs that are featured in the collection include: the 610 horsepower V-1400 racing engine that powered Jimmy Doolittle's Schneider Trophy-winning Curtiss R3C-2; the 225 horsepower J-5 Whirlwind that carried Lindbergh across the Atlantic in the Spirit of St. Louis; and the 2,200 horsepower R-3350 turbosupercharged radials of the Boeing B-29 Enola Gay. All three aircraft are in the National Air and Space Museum collection. The museum in Washington, and the Wright State University Special Collections and Archives in Dayton, Ohio, have agreed to joint custodianship of the Curtiss-Wright engine blueprints collection to better preserve it for posterity.

The wheels of industry stopped, prices collapsed, and unemployment spread rapidly. The United States plunged into the greatest depression in its history.
